The Town of Otisfield Finance Committee met April 9, 2026, and recorded several budget adjustments and announcements, according to the meeting minutes read into the record by the clerk.
The committee amended the CEO budget upward by $800, bringing the total to $78,559, as recorded in the minutes. The minutes do not specify a mover or vote tally for that amendment.
The meeting record shows the committee approved keeping fire department fuel in the Fire Fund (FF) budget, listing the initials "BB/AP" on the line and a vote notation of "6/1," which the minutes record as six in favor and one opposed. The committee also approved lowering the road fuel budget by $2,500; that line appears with the initials "AP/TS" and the same "6/1" notation in the minutes.
The minutes show the committee accepted the March 12, 2026 minutes with the notation "AP/TS Unan.," and that the meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m. following an adjournment motion recorded as "AP/SO Unan." The initials in the minutes match the attendee list recorded at the top of the minutes: T Snow; S Ouellette; H Ferguson; A Grant; B Bedell; B. Burwell; A Pastore.
Two public events were announced for later in May: an Annex meeting with the BOS on May 21, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., and a Community Hall public hearing on May 28, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., both listed under "Miscellaneous" in the minutes.
The meeting was convened at 6:28 p.m. and adjourned at 7:00 p.m., according to the minutes read by the clerk.
