Marlborough fire commissioners review department budget in special meeting
Summary
Town of Marlborough Fire Commissioners held a line‑by‑line budget workshop Jan. 14, 2026, reviewing the department's existing budget with fire chief officers to identify future needs; no formal budget vote was recorded. The meeting was called to order by Fire Commissioner Alan Laliberte and adjourned at 7:32 p.m. after a unanimous motion.
The Town of Marlborough Fire Commissioners met in a special session on Jan. 14, 2026, at Fire Station No. 2 to review the fire department’s existing budget line by line. Fire Commissioner Alan Laliberte called the meeting to order at 6:10 p.m.
Commission members and department chief officers examined the department’s current budget to assess future needs and priorities. Present commissioners were Alan Laliberte, David Blish, David LeBlanc, Patrick Pabouet and Kevin Gentile. The minutes record that the review was conducted item by item, but they do not show any formal vote to adopt or amend the budget during the special meeting.
The minutes also note the pledge of allegiance and a moment of silence for first responders injured or lost since the last meeting. After concluding the budget workshop, Commissioner Kevin Gentile moved to adjourn at 7:32 p.m.; Commissioner David LeBlanc seconded the motion and, "all in favor," the meeting was adjourned.
The document filed with the minutes notes that "all minutes are considered ‘DRAFT MINUTES’ until approved at the next meeting," so any decisions or budget changes discussed at this workshop will be subject to later ratification if the commission formally moves to adopt them in a subsequent public meeting.
