Select Board Receives FY27 Budget Tied to Override Vote, Hears CDBG Funding Requests — January 26 Meeting

Town Manager Jim Feeney presented a $237.9 million fiscal year 2027 budget that is contingent on a Proposition 2½ override vote scheduled for March 28, warning that a roughly $3 million deficit — growing to $18.3 million in FY28 — would force significant service cuts if the override fails. The board unanimously voted to reschedule its February 9 meeting to February 12 to incorporate the latest health insurance cost data from the Group Insurance Commission before setting the override amount.
