6 Yr. Term - 6 Members
The task of Simsbury’s six-member Board of Finance, as outlined in the Connecticut General Statutes and our Town Charter, is twofold: act as the budget making authority and be responsible for financial and taxation matters.
The Board of Finance works on an annual basis with the Board of Selectmen and Board of Education in order to put both operating and capital budgets before the voters. During that process, the Board is responsible for holding public hearings for the presentation of operating and capital budgets by the First Selectman and the Chairman of the Board of Education. These meetings provide an open forum for public comment before further action, either at Town Meeting or Referendum.
