Police location committee outlines steps, requests $250,000 for design work
Summary
Brian Boyle, chair of the police location committee, told the Budget Committee the next steps for a Phase 1 police station include reviewing the highway garage site, relocating the brush dump and seeking $250,000 for building design.
Brian Boyle, chair of the Police Location Committee, briefed the Budget Committee on Jan. 6, 2026, about preliminary steps toward siting and designing a new police station as part of Phase 1 planning. Boyle listed three near-term actions: examine the highway garage as a potential site or mitigation factor, relocate the brush dump to clear a site or circulation, and request $250,000 to fund design work for the police station building.
The Police Location Committee's outline was presented after the Selectmen's report, which listed Article 2026-02 (Phase 1 Police Station) as approved. Boyle's description frames the design request as part of early capital planning; the meeting record does not show a separate committee vote on the $250,000 design request during this session.
The Budget Committee noted the report as part of broader warrant-article discussion; the committee scheduled a follow-up meeting on Jan. 9, 2026, where members may take further action on related budget lines and warrant items.
