Following the rejection of the Windsor Locks board of finance's budget proposal in a June 4 referendum, town officials went back to the drawing board, adopting a series of cuts that included reductions in both the police department's and the board of education's requests for funding.
The cuts were adopted the morning of June 8 during a special meeting of the board of finance.
The cuts adopted are as follows:
- A reduction of $200,000Â drawn from the town's undesignated fund balance
- A reduction of $280,000Â in the board of education's request
- A reduction of $200,000 in the police department's request
- An unspecified cu of $25,000 to general government
Regarding the .46 mill increase, Finance Chair Con O'Leary said, "That seems to be a nu ber I dont's see how any reasonable person can complain about."
A second referendum will be held on June 18.
