The Leominster City Council voted unanimously on several appropriations and adopted an ordinance adding a stop sign at Gevrey Circle, while also approving two opioid‑fund grants after amending their requested language.

Finance Chair (unnamed) reported the fiscal status and led committee recommendations on a series of mayoral appropriation requests. The council granted the following items by votes recorded in the meeting minutes and on the floor:

- C‑18: An appropriation of $350,000 to the police department patrol salary and wages account to cover the second year of a contract settlement; funds to come from the collective bargaining expense account. The finance committee recommended approval and the council granted C‑18 by voice vote, 9–0.

- C‑19: An appropriation of $221,540.59 to the school department expense account, funded by fiscal year 2026 E‑Rate revenue. The finance committee recommended approval and the council granted C‑19 by voice vote, 9–0.

- C‑20: An appropriation of $50,000 to the Montachusett Recovery Center, to be transferred from the opioid stabilization fund. Councilors questioned why the mayor’s capital expense line was included in the request; a motion to remove the reference to the mayor’s capital expense line passed, and the amended appropriation was adopted by voice vote, 9–0. A letter from MRC explained the $50,000 request as roughly $30,000 for recovery support services expansion, $15,000 toward increased rent for a Carter Street facility, and $5,000 toward rising transportation costs.

- C‑21: An appropriation of $35,000 to North Star Family Services (Bonnie’s Place) to support operations serving homeless families, to be transferred from the opioid stabilization fund. Councilors again moved to strike the mayor’s capital expense line from the communication; the amendment passed and the amended appropriation was adopted by voice vote, 9–0.

Separately, the Legal Affairs Committee recommended and the council adopted 16‑26, an amendment to Section 13‑77 of the Leominster Municipal Code adding a stop sign for eastbound traffic on Gevrey Circle at Gordon Street. The police department provided a brief memo "not opposed" and reported no relevant accident data; the ordinance was adopted by roll call, recorded as 9‑0 with all councilors voting "Yay." The roll call as read in the meeting included: Councilor David Cormier, Councilor Pauline Cormier, Councilor Hager, Councilor Noseworthy, Councilor Tassi, Councilor Raffens, and Councilor Frida (all recorded "Yay").

Notes on procedure and amendments: Councilors raised procedural questions about how some opioid‑fund items had been drafted to reference the mayor’s capital expense line; the finance chair and other councilors described prior practice of mayoral upfront expenditures reimbursed from opioid funds and agreed the capital‑line language appeared to be a leftover. Where appropriate the council moved to delete that line before adopting the orders. Several items were given "regular course" or referred to committee earlier in the meeting but were later acted on by adoption of orders.

Ending: The council adopted the listed orders and appropriations by unanimous vote and scheduled further public hearings and committee follow‑ups for outstanding zoning and battery storage items.
