The Greenfield Selectboard reviewed a warrant article on Jan. 21 proposing to fund paving and other road infrastructure projects through a Capital Reserve Fund (CRF). The board discussed the article as part of broader 2026 budget and capital planning but did not adopt a final funding amount during the meeting.
Board members also reviewed the 2026 budget draft and made changes to reflect projected increases in contract costs for ambulance services, assessing, and auditing. Town Administrator Aaron Patt and the Selectboard agreed to update the document to reflect those projected costs and to distribute an updated two-year comparative budget detail in advance of the next meeting.

The consent agenda listed an accounts payable register of $73,278.12 and a payroll register of $40,118.94; individual consent items (including appointments and an Intent to Cut) were listed but not discussed in detail.
