We hear Mr. Haag, who was the consultant brought in by Ms. Hoffmann for the payout for former TM Colon “hit the ground running” and made the much needed change from the Excel Spreadsheet approach used by the former Town Manager and her Finance Director to a budget worksheet that is created inside the financial system itself…We heard it was something the Town already had in place and went unused … even though it is much more efficient and provides more timely data… OUCH!… Kudos to the Interim Town Manager!…
We also hear the Commissioners will meet with Ms. Hoffman sometime after the 18th and the budget and tentative millage rate will be on June 27th at 6 pm…This writer is certainly looking forward to it… especially now!…
