The Westbrook Finance Committee met on April 6, 2026, at Westbrook High School to hear departmental budget presentations and returned to general discussion before adjourning at 10:46 p.m. Chair Brian McCambridge called the meeting to order at 8:12 p.m.
The agenda’s Item II moved to budget hearings. Dean Prindle, City Assessor, presented the Assessing budget; Councilor Anna A. Turcotte, Mayor David Morse, Councilor Victor Chau, City Administrator Angela Holmes, President Jennifer Munro and Interim Finance Director Laura King participated in discussion. The transcript lists which speakers took part but does not provide budget figures or tied vote outcomes for the Assessing item.
Assistant City Administrator Jennie Franceschi and Rebecca Spitella, Director of Planning & Code Enforcement, presented the Planning & Code Enforcement budget. Councilor Victor Chau and President Munro spoke during that item. The record supplied identifies speakers but contains no dollar amounts or adopted motions tied to that presentation.
Katherine Kelley, Wastewater Manager, presented the Wastewater budget and gave a special presentation on street paving. Councilors Gary Rairdon and Victor Chau, Chair McCambridge, Councilor Anna A. Turcotte, City Administrator Angela Holmes and President Munro took part in the discussion. The transcript notes the presentation occurred but does not include cost estimates, schedules, or other detailed paving metrics.
Eric Dudley presented budgets for Public Services and related divisions — Highway, Refuse, Fleet, Cemeteries, Buildings and Parking Garages — and engaged with Councilor Turcotte, Councilor Rairdon, Mayor Morse, Interim Finance Director Laura King and Councilor Chau. The transcript records involvement by these leaders but does not record adopted appropriations or numerical budget details.
President Jennifer Munro moved to adjourn at 10:46 p.m.; Councilor Gary Rairdon seconded. The motion carried by a show of hands; none opposed, and the meeting was closed.
The transcript provided a clear record of who presented and which councilors and staff spoke on each agenda topic, but it did not include specific budget totals, motions to adopt or amend budgets, or verbatim quotes from presenters. Those items would need to be obtained from the meeting packet, budget documents, or an expanded record if required for additional reporting.
