Dear Madeline Colandro,

To clarify #2 and #3:

2) For 2024 and 2025 Budget Detail lines with transaction detail (print to PDF or print to excel). If you have Edmunds it's Transaction Account Detail for Salaries and Wages and Other Expenses for the Fire Department.
3) For 2024 and 2025 Capital Budget Detail for Fire Department Equipment or Vehicles by running the entire Town of Westfield for 2024 and 2025. If you have Edmunds it's Transaction Account Detail for Capital for the years 2024 and 205 for entire town.

Yours sincerely,

OPENDATA2025
