Haddam Annual Budget Town Meeting Results and New Mill Rate

By David Challenger.

The Town of Haddam held its Annual Budget Town Meeting on May 26th in person at  Haddam Fire Station #1.  There was a nice turnout to vote on two budget items.  The first was the Capital Improvement budget totaling $1,021,991 which passed unanimously with no discussion.  The second item was the Town Budget recommended by the Board of Finance for the fiscal year July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022.  This also passed unanimously without any discussion.

The Town Meeting was adjourned, and the Board of Finance convened to set the mill rate for fiscal year 2021-2022.  After 4 years of no rate increase, the Board voted to approve an increase of 0.47 mills setting the new mill rate at 32.16 for the upcoming fiscal year which represents a 1.49% increase.
