Select Board approves minutes, budget adjustment, contracts, appointments and warrants
Summary
At its July 3 meeting the Newcastle Select Board approved the June 22 meeting minutes as amended, a final FY26 budget adjustment, authorization of the FY27 road-maintenance contract, multiple assessor recommendations and staff appointments, and moved to pay two AP warrants totaling about $465,000 in combined items.
The Newcastle Select Board on July 3 approved routine and fiscal items including amended minutes from June 22, a final FY26 budget adjustment to cover overspent lines, authorization of the road-maintenance contract for fiscal year 2027, and staff and volunteer appointments listed in Exhibit 1.
During discussion of the FY26 budget adjustment, staff said transfers would cover fringe, health insurance, retirement and a small supplies overrun and that excess funds would be used for new equipment and fire-department gas. A board member moved to approve the budget adjustment as presented by the finance director; the motion passed by voice vote.
Committee member (S4) moved to authorize the town manager to sign the FY27 road-maintenance contract after providing the requested delivered price list; the motion was seconded and approved. The board also accepted the assessor's recommendations for items 12 and 13 and approved the accounts-payable warrants: the FY26 AP warrant for $97,157.76 and the FY27 AP warrant number 1 for $367,979.85.
The board approved recurring staff and volunteer appointments on Exhibit 1 and discussed minor clerical issues and numbering in the minutes. The chair said staff will provide updated materials and corrected minutes where necessary.
Next steps: staff will circulate corrected minutes and the finance director will supply the detailed mill-rate scenarios and warrant language for upcoming meetings.
