Budget committee approves $1,513,233 FY2026–27 budget; staff to pursue county IGA
Summary
The Westfir Budget Committee voted to approve the FY2026–27 budget of $1,513,233 after reviewing line‑item revisions, interfund loan plans and a proposed SRS exchange with Lane County; the committee set next steps for public hearing scheduling and staff follow‑up.
A committee member moved "that the budget committee of the city of Westborough approve the budget for the fiscal year of 02/2027 in the amount of $1,513,233," and the motion was seconded and carried. (Transcript phrasing of the motion includes the amount $1,513,233.) After the motion, roll‑call affirmations were recorded and the chair announced the motion carries.
Committee members discussed timing for publication of the public hearing notice and agreed it was preferable to approve the budget to avoid additional meeting scheduling and notice delays. Staff noted that the council can still adjust allocations after the public hearing, provided changes do not exceed the statutory 10% notice threshold for any fund. The committee set a tentative schedule for a city council public hearing and meeting in mid‑June to allow mail notices to be prepared.
