Brookfield's annual town meeting has been held. The budget recommendations for the coming fiscal year were discussed. The proposed municipal budget is $21.89 million and represents a 5.7 percent increase in spending over the current year. The proposed education budget, with a less than 1 percent increase, is $38.5 million.
Also on the agenda last night were two capital items; a little more than $1 million for equipment and projects around town and also nearly $2.5 million for the Still River Greenway project.
The budget referendum was recommended to be held on May 20th.
