Voters approved the town's proposed FY27 operating budget totaling $3,630,569.15. The town administrator presented the proposal and explained that an estimated $2,400,171.73 would be raised by property taxes while $1,230,397.42 would come from non-tax revenues; the motion to adopt the budget was moved and carried by voice vote.
During a page-by-page presentation the administrator highlighted several revenue and expense drivers: a falling payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) payment (budgeted at $413,873 for FY27), a new state grant line to cover tax losses on FEMA buyout properties, a $150,000 contract for a townwide reappraisal beginning 07/01/2027, and planned paving projects expected to use roughly $86,000 from the paving reserve. The moderator read the article language and, after a call for the question, the motion carried by voice vote.
