The Selectboard reviewed the proposed FY2027 budget totaling $2,000,920: General $778,829; Highway $1,158,582; Library $58,009; Cemetery $5,500, with $1,485,894 to be raised by taxes after applying $454,526 in non‑tax revenues and $60,500 from prior year reserves.
Board members and residents asked questions about non‑tax revenue sources (grants, fees, interest), the town's unassigned fund balance (approximately $350,000–$400,000), and bookkeeping line items such as Grounds Care & Supplies, which was over budget for FY25. Matt Frederick explained that Grounds Care & Supplies will be separated from Repairs & Maintenance going forward to clarify budgeting.
