Interested Group Turns Out For Opinion Adopt City Budget
An aroused Wakefield audience packed the city council chambers to hear City Attorney Burns’s opinion on the Rytkonen judgment and to discuss next year’s budget. The judgement amount, tied to property valuation, is $27,562 with interest and costs, to be spread on the tax roll at $9 per thousand. The meeting explored insurance liability, procedural handling, and whether an earlier settlement might have eased the burden on taxpayers.
