Perhaps selectmen Julie Richard can explain how the above figures do not represent the general fund budget / spending plan.

FY 2020 General Fund Operating  (OPEX) Budget figure . . . . . . .$9,690,274.00

Can selectmen Julie Richard explain how the above figure does not represent the general fund operating budget?   How is this not an approximate one million dollar increase over the prior fiscal year?
