Finance committee adopts quarterly meeting schedule for 2026
Summary
The Middletown finance committee voted to hold regular quarterly meetings in 2026, setting tentative dates and instructing staff to post the schedule with the town clerk and recirculate it to members.
Chair Andrew called the Middletown finance committee to order and proposed moving to a quarterly meeting cadence so Essex Financial could attend regular sessions and committee business could be consolidated. He read a set of candidate dates for 2026 and asked for a motion to adopt them.
Tom Russell moved to adopt the proposed schedule and Laurie seconded. Andrew proposed meeting dates of January 23, April 24, August 28 and October 23 (with the committee noting January 22, 2026 on one exchange as an additional reference). The motion was put to a voice/hand vote and carried; members present said “aye” and the chair instructed staff to post the approved schedule with the town clerk and to recirculate it to the membership.
Why it matters: moving to quarterly meetings is intended to concentrate committee workload so staff can assemble complete financial statements and Essex Financial can attend quarterly reviews, rather than holding multiple canceled meetings with sparse agendas.
What’s next: Chair Andrew asked staff to revise and post the schedule with the town clerk. The committee will use the new cadence and call special meetings if action items arise between regular meetings.
