At the meeting, selectmen reviewed the town’s budget process and set tentative dates for upcoming budget review sessions.

A board speaker said the town’s operating budget is roughly $20 million and encouraged members to review department budgets in advance and to ask questions before the scheduled meetings. Members discussed timing: a school‑budget review was proposed for the Monday prior to Thanksgiving (referenced as Nov. 21 in discussion) and the board tentatively agreed to use the first Saturday in December for school sessions, with a backup Saturday if more time is needed. Members also noted selectmen review work is expected to begin in October and urged colleagues to watch meeting agendas for confirmed dates.

The board moved and approved the previous meeting’s minutes by voice vote. Members discussed recording and potentially providing electronic access to budget review sessions; staff said they would attempt to enable remote access but had not finalized details.

The board closed the meeting after moving to adjourn.
