Whereas,  the annual compensation for City of Brewer High School District trustees begins in fiscal year 2019-20, which begins July 1, 2019; and

Whereas,  to conduct its official business in a financially responsible manner for the benefit of its residents, the City of Brewer must include all upcoming financial obligations in the budget prepared for fiscal year 2019-20; and
