"Day Care operations are funded at $150,000 or approximately 50% of the costs of prior year under normal conditions. It is seed money to restart the program and if the results of operations require additional funding it will be sought at the fall 2021 Special Town Meeting. This is a cautious approach, as operations may be amidst the continued pandemic requiring certain additional precautions. The Day Care program is revenue neutral so the bottom line to the General Fund will not be impacted if the anticipated Day Care revenues do not equate to the budgeted expense dollars. Realistic budgeted revenues will need to be proven to the Department of Revenue in order to set the Town’s tax rate. The Parks / Recreation Revolving Fund will absorb any year-end actual excess / deficiencies in the Day Care operations." -Town Manager memo to Select Board 3/1/2021
