ROCHESTER There wasn’t much in the way of passing Annual Town Meeting articles on May 24.
Every agenda item at Rochester’s Town Meeting, held at Rochester Memorial School, was passed with little discussion.
Voters at the meeting passed the town’s $22.9 million overall operating budget an increase of $350,000 over the Fiscal Year 2021 with no discussion.
“What a difference a year makes,” Finance Committee Chair Kristian Stoltenburg said in a budget explanation before the meeting’s opening, noting the committee recommendations for the budget indicated “a growing sense of normalcy and optimism unlike last year.”
