The Town's Municipal Auditor presented the FY2025 financial report to the Town Council on January 8, 2026. The presentation showed total government-wide revenues exceeding $2.7 million against expenses of about $718,501, roughly $6.3 million in cash, and about $209,000 invested in capital assets. A prior period adjustment of $12,866 was required due to a new GASB standard on compensated absences, and the report cited a 32% increase in some measure since 2021, along with 29 months of General Fund liquidity and 7 months of Water Fund liquidity.
