Woodbury selectmen discuss potential cuts to FY 2026-27 budget, take no action
Summary
The Woodbury Board of Selectmen reviewed possible reductions to the proposed FY 2026-2027 budget — focusing on Pay Plan lines, capital requests and operations budgets — but made no formal motions or votes during the Feb. 9 special meeting.
First Selectman Paul Zulpa called a special meeting of the Woodbury Board of Selectmen at 3:00 p.m. on Feb. 9 to review potential reductions to the proposed FY 2026-2027 municipal budget. Attending were Selectmen Karen Reddington-Hughes and Richard Coates, Fiscal Officer Nyree Pieck and Personnel Administrator Ray Lagasse, along with two members of the public.
The board examined lines within the municipal Pay Plan to identify areas where personnel-related savings could be achieved and consulted with Fiscal Officer Nyree Pieck and Personnel Administrator Ray Lagasse about options. Members also reviewed capital requests and discussed trimming or deferring capital projects as one mechanism to lower the recommended spending plan. In addition, the board studied operations budgets and noted categories where adjustments could reduce the overall operating budget. The minutes record no specific dollar amounts or finalized line-item decisions.
The session was discussion-only; the board did not introduce motions, hold votes, or reach formal decisions at the meeting. The Board of Selectmen adjourned at 4:05 p.m. Minutes were filed subject to Board approval on Feb. 10, 2026.
Next steps were not specified in the minutes; the record indicates this meeting served to identify possible reductions for later consideration or formal action.
