North Brookfield special town meeting approves $846.37 transfer to pay prior‑year highway electricity bill

At a special Town Meeting called to address one article, voters approved a transfer of $846.37 to pay a prior‑year highway electricity bill, the moderator announced. A town official moved “that the town vote to transfer $846.37 from highway prior year 2025 to highway prior year 2024.” The motion was seconded, and the moderator said the article required a nine‑tenths majority because it concerns a prior‑year bill. The moderator then took a voice/hand vote; the motion passed unanimously, and the moderator closed the special meeting. No further action or follow‑up motions were recorded at that special meeting. The transfer was carried out using the town’s available funds and was reported during the Select Board portion of the same meeting.
