Woodbury selectmen review possible cuts to FY 2026–27 budget; no decisions
Summary
At a Feb. 6 special meeting, the Woodbury Board of Selectmen reviewed potential reductions to the proposed FY 2026–2027 budget — including Pay Plan lines, capital requests and operations budgets — but took no formal action during the session.
First Selectman Paul Zulpa called a special meeting of the Woodbury Board of Selectmen to order at 3:00 p.m. on Feb. 6, 2026, and said the purpose was to identify potential reductions to the proposed FY 2026–2027 budget.
The discussion centered on three areas the board identified as possible sources of savings: specific lines in the town Pay Plan, requests included in the Capital budget, and operational expense lines. Board members examined Pay Plan line items for reductions, reviewed capital requests for potential savings and studied operations budgets to locate further opportunities to lower the overall spending proposal. Fiscal Officer Nyree Pieck and Personnel Administrator Ray Lagasse participated in the review and provided context on operations and personnel-related items.
No motions were made and the board did not vote on any reductions during the meeting; it was an informational, discussion-only session. The meeting ended at 5:07 p.m. The minutes were submitted on behalf of the board by DiCanto Debra Carlton and were filed subject to Board of Selectmen approval on Feb. 10, 2026.
The board did not set formal directives or adopt specific budget cuts at this session; further consideration and any formal actions will occur at future meetings.
