Committee says it kept next years roads budget at $8.50; transcript does not specify units

During a capital improvement program update, the staff member told the committee that the CIP discussion "went well" and that they "did not increase the roads budget for next year" and had "kept it at $8.50, and everybody was supportive of that." The staff speaker emphasized the project list remains fluid and that further adjustments will be considered during a fall meeting with regional planning.

Because the transcript records the figure as "$8.50" without units or scale, the amount is reported here exactly as stated in the meeting and should be verified with town budget documents before being used as a budgetary figure. Staff said they will revisit spending capacity in September and update the committee on available funds.
