Selectmen approved a package of midyear budget transfers totaling $209,329.80 and agreed to forward the transfers to the Board of Finance for review. The board also approved a separate revised set of 2025–2026 transfers submitted the same day to correct a calculation error.
The transfers include multiple line adjustments across departments, with a $27,000 transfer for sludge processing noted as "MOVE TO TOWN MEETING" for additional action. The record shows other sizable moves to cover electricity costs while the town's solar panels were offline, wage and overtime payouts across public-safety and public-works lines, and reallocations for nitrogen credits and equipment replacement.
Selectmen also approved signing the 2025 and 2026 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) resolutions and approved a $235.12 tax refund to be forwarded to the Board of Finance. The board awarded the Maple, Century and Division Street project bid to M. Rondano Inc. by unanimous vote.
Motions to approve the transfers and related items were made and seconded by board members and carried by unanimous vote where recorded; the sludge-processing transfer was flagged for town-meeting consideration. The items will proceed to the Board of Finance or the town meeting as required by the established process.
The meeting adjourned at 7:42 p.m.
