The Burlington, Vermont Board of Finance, composed of the mayor and city councilors, heard Monday from the acting police chief on the department’s 2022 budget proposal and plans for response in the wake of a shrinking budget. City councilors also got an update from the public school superintendent on plans to find a site for a new high school building.
The Burlington Police Department’s fiscal year 2022 $16.1 million proposed budget presentation to the Board of Finance shows a reduction from past years. Acting Chief Jon Murad said it shows how the department is dealing with a 2020 city council requirement that the department reduce staffing.
