Committee questions $30,000 Automotive Shop request after three‑year average was $64,000
Summary
Tyler Hughes flagged Automotive Shop line item 5407, budgeted at $30,000 versus a three‑year average of $64,000; Town Manager Stephen Lawson said replacements reduced the need but agreed to note increasing the line by $10,000–$15,000.
Committee member Tyler Hughes questioned whether line item 5407 in the Automotive Shop budget, listed at $30,000, was sufficient given a three‑year average spend of $64,000. Hughes recommended increasing the line by $10,000–$15,000 to better align with historic averages.
Town Manager Stephen Lawson said the lower current request reflected replacement of much equipment but accepted Hughes’ recommendation and said he would note the change for the budget. The committee did not formally change the figure at the meeting but directed that the concern be recorded as the draft budget moves to the public hearing.
