Select Board places range of town‑meeting articles including fuel assistance, PEG funding and revolving funds
Summary
The board placed multiple articles for the upcoming town meeting: prior‑year bills ($4,199), PEG access funding for the regional school district ($24,462) and Cape Media Center ($195,699), revolving-fund spending limits, fuel assistance ($15,000), OPEB transfer and transfers to capital and general stabilization funds.
At its Feb. 4 meeting the Dennis Select Board placed a slate of town‑meeting articles on the warrant and voted to move them forward for voter consideration.
Notable items placed include Article 2 (prior‑year bills; $4,199 for election ballot printing), Article 8 (Dennis‑Yarmouth Regional School District PEG access funding, $24,462), Article 9 (Cape Media Center PEG access funding, cited in the transcript as $195,699.699), Article 10 (FY26 revolving fund spending limits for COA, golf, board of health, library, recreation and removal of a cable revolving fund director account), Article 24 (fuel assistance, $15,000, with a board request for a spent‑to‑date update before finalizing any increase), Article 25 (placement of a transfer to the OPEB trust to be sized after the OPEB Committee meets), and Articles 26–27 (transfers to capital and general purpose stabilization funds to be finalized later).
Board members voted to place each article for now; some items (notably fuel assistance and OPEB transfer amounts) will come back with finalized figures before the warrant is published.
Why it matters: these warrant articles determine what voters will consider at town meeting and shape the town's FY26 budget priorities for social services, media access, revolving funds and reserves.
