Granby Selectmen unanimously amend budget book; ambulance allocation set at $80,000
Summary
At a March 12 budget workshop the Granby Board of Selectmen voted 5‑0 to change the proposed budget book, including increasing the Granby Ambulance Association allocation to $80,000, updating the Farmington Valley Health District amount and removing the Lost Acres Fire Department allocation with corresponding revenue adjustments.
The Granby Board of Selectmen voted unanimously at a March 12 budget workshop to amend the proposed FY2027 budget book, including an $80,000 allocation for the Granby Ambulance Association and the removal of an allocation for the Lost Acres Fire Department.
Selectman Frederick A. Moffa moved the changes; Selectman Kimberly L. Becker seconded the motion, which passed 5‑0‑0. The approved adjustments also included an update to the Farmington Valley Health District line item and associated revenue entries to reflect the removed Lost Acres Fire Department allocation.
First Selectman Mark H. Fiorentino presided over the workshop, which followed departmental presentations from the town manager and finance director. The board made the vote as part of final edits to the budget book that will be presented at the upcoming public hearing.
The motion did not specify future recurring funding formulas for the Lost Acres Fire Department; board members discussed potentially shifting support formulas from Grand List percentages to inflation‑based adjustments in the broader capital and operations conversations earlier in the session. The motion recorded by the clerk does not list individual member roll‑call explanations beyond the tally (5 yes, 0 no, 0 abstain).
The board also approved a procedural adjournment motion later in the meeting. The town clerk recorded the minutes and the workshop video is available through Granby Community Television.
The board noted the April 6, 2026 Selectmen meeting will be canceled because of the FY2027 Budget Public Hearing; the next Selectmen meeting is scheduled for April 20, 2026, at the Granby Senior Center.
