Summary
Selectmen unanimously approved a $92,800 FY26 in‑series transfer requested by Public Works Director Gary Schneider to cover overtime tied to emergency Call Before You Dig tickets, tree removal, flooding, multiple snow events (including a blizzard) and non‑union pay increases.
The Waterford Board of Selectmen voted unanimously on March 17 to approve a $92,800 FY26 in‑series transfer to the Public Works Department to cover overtime and emergency response costs.
Director of Public Works Gary Schneider told the board the additional funds are needed for after‑hours Call Before You Dig tickets, tree removal and flooding response, several significant snowfalls including a weekend blizzard, and non‑union pay increases that were not included in the adopted budget. Selectman Rich Muckle moved the transfer; the motion passed 3‑0.
The transfer was recorded as an in‑series adjustment to the FY26 operating plan and will be reflected in the department’s budget tracking; the minutes do not record further discussion or requests for additional reporting by staff.
