Granby board approves $455,539 FY27 contribution to OPEB trust
Summary
The Board authorized a $455,539 FY27 appropriation to the OPEB Trust funded by state grant-related savings; $200,000 was committed toward a mill-rate reduction and the remainder to the trust.
The Board of Selectmen authorized an additional FY27 appropriation of $455,539 from the General Fund balance to the town’s Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust. The funding stems from a Supplemental Educational Cost Sharing (ECS) grant that allowed a reduction in the Board of Education appropriation, freeing funds for OPEB contributions. The motion by M. Neumann, seconded by K. Becker, was approved by the Board.
Meeting materials noted that $200,000 of the available funds was committed toward a mill-rate reduction, with the remaining $455,539 proposed for the OPEB Trust to help offset future actuarially required contributions. Board members authorized the appropriation as a one-time FY27 action; any ongoing funding will be subject to future budgeting decisions.
