Selectmen call April 1 Town Meeting to consider transferring $120,000 from MES roof reserve for urgent egress repair
Summary
The board voted to call a Town Meeting April 1, 2026 at 7 p.m. at the MES cafeteria to consider using $120,000 from the MES roof reserve (balance cited at $140,000) to partially fund an estimated $160,000 egress repair.
Town Manager David Porter reported that the Board of Finance recommended using $120,000 from the MES roof reserve account, which the minutes cite as having a $140,000 balance, to offset an urgent egress repair estimated at $160,000. Selectman Louise Concodello moved that the Board of Selectmen call a Town Meeting for April 1, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. in the MES cafeteria to vote on the reserve transfer; Selectman Joe Asklar seconded and the motion carried.
The board’s motion calls for a Town Meeting so registered voters can consider transferring funds from the reserve account to cover most of the repair cost. The minutes do not record whether the transfer amount would fully cover the final invoice; the $160,000 repair estimate was presented as the project cost and the $120,000 figure as the proposed offset from the reserve.
