Police budget shortfall sparks Special Town Meeting
TRURO — Due to a sizable shortfall in this year’s police department salaries and overtime budgets, the town of Truro will be holding a Special Town Meeting on June 6 to ask voters to approve transferring funds from free cash to the reserve fund, to allow the finance committee to rectify this and possibly other budget miscalculations. Town Meeting recently convened to approve next year’s budget.
“Only Town Meeting can make the transfer,” Fred Gaechter, chairman of the Truro Board of Selectmen, said at the board’s Tuesday night meeting. “We need to move quickly.”
