Staff member reports FY28 salary adjustments; board to vote at special meeting
Summary
A staff member told trustees she updated the FY28 draft budget to reflect requested changes that she said moved the salary figure to "4.4" and increased the total by about "4.7" in her calculations; the full board will vote at a special meeting after the finance template is submitted to town finance.
Speaker 3 said she made the budget changes trustees asked for and "plugged in the new numbers," reporting that the salary line moved to "a 4.4" in the draft and that two updated lines (maintenance and machinery and equipment) produced roughly a 4.7 increase in the numbers she presented.
Speaker 3 said she and the controller in finance (Sarah) found a prior error that may have doubled some merit amounts in the prior calculation, and she plans another detailed review before final submission. She noted that several benefit-related lines (short- and long-term disability, life insurance, workers' compensation) typically finalize in the fall and were left unchanged for now. Trustee (Speaker 1) said the draft looked defensible and confirmed the full board will vote on the budget at the special meeting.
No final vote occurred at the ad hoc meeting; Speaker 3 will complete the town finance template and provide the board with the same figures for the special meeting vote.
