BERLIN — The public will get a chance to comment at the May 27 hearing on a proposed fiscal 2021 city budget that would reduce the tax rate by 28 cents to $39.54. The city council Monday night voted to present a general fund budget of $35.8 million, a reduction of $2.2 million from the budget presented by City Manager James Wheeler in March. But at least three city councilors said they would like to see a tax rate decrease of $1.

Mayor Paul Grenier stressed that the budget is still preliminary until the council votes to adopt a final budget at its June 15 meeting.
