Budget Director Tony Arcuri spoke to the Board about the 2025 budget.
"There's no tax increase and sales tax continues to grow.
“We'll continue to spend on capital projects. Two hundred thousand dollars has been earmarked for Kirkland Trails to match for grants.
“Some funds will be distributed for park improvements for pickleball courts. There are no scheduled purchases for police cars.
“We're expecting expenses of about $150,000 for a salt barn next year, and will probably make a decision on financing at end of November when the fourth sales tax check is received.
“The cost is expected to be around $375,000.
The interest rate increase leaves revenue to be around $345,000," Arcuri said.
The next Town of Kirkland Board meeting is Oct. 23 at 5 p.m.
