Selectmen Approve $3.5M Spending Plan

The Rehoboth Board of Selectmen on Wednesday approved a $3.5 million spending plan for the month of August. The board has been appropriating funds on a monthly basis as a result of not having an approved town budget for the 2021 fiscal year. Selectman Gerry Schwall explained any money not spent in August will be carried over to September.

The board voted in June to postpone the annual town meeting due to uncertainty surrounding the state budget. The new fiscal year began July 1. Selectmen will meet with the town moderator, town clerk, and the finance committee chairman in August to determine a new date for the town meeting.
