Cuppa Joe with Town Manager Paul Bockelman and Finance Director Sean Mangano: The FY27 Budget

The public is invited to Town Manager Paul Bockelman and Town Finance Director Sean Mangano for coffee and conversation about the Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27) Budget. This will be the second Cuppa’ Joe with Paul “After Hours” event. The goal is to host some of these community sessions on weeknights, rather than just the traditional Friday mornings, to ensure that all residents have the opportunity to participate.  The event will be held Tuesday, May 12 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m in Room 101 of the Bangs Community Center, 70 Boltwood Walk.     

All community members are welcome to join this informal conversation about the FY27 Budget. The budget includes all aspects of Town operations including Municipal, Elementary Schools, Regional Schools, Library, and Capital for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. View all FY27 Budget Information.  

The “Cuppa’ Joe with Paul” events are monthly and rotate locations around the town. Each time, Paul is joined by a different Town department head or official who provides insights into their area of focus. Residents and others are welcome to share their concerns, offer suggestions, or just get to know each other.
