Budget meetings have begun in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
Ward 3 city councilor Nick Caccamo says the city council has discussed administrative budgets, the office of cultural development, human resources, the new office of equity, diversity and inclusion, the health department, the school budget and more. Hearings continue ahead of the 2022 fiscal year starting July 1st.
“Tuesday is the Fire department and the Police department, our emergency services," said Caccamo. "And June 2nd is more or less the collection of public services related stuff, including the enterprise fund, the department of public services, as well as some of the free cash orders and revolving funds and parking revenue, all of the ‘loose ends’ of the budget season will take place on June 2nd.”
A vote on the total budget could come as soon as the next city council meeting on June 8th.
