Finance Committee Reviews Minuteman Budget, IT Gaps, and Treasurer Operations — March 4 Meeting

Arlington's Finance Committee unanimously approved Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical High School's FY2027 assessment of $8.27 million, reflecting a nearly 1% decrease for the town despite an overall 2.99% budget increase. The committee also flagged a $232,000 gap in the town's IT budget caused by unrealistic cuts to software and network maintenance, and approved the Treasurer-Collector budget while increasing the parking fund offset to cover the full salary of the collections manager.
