Select board approves FY27 general budget and earmarks reappraisal, highway equipment and capital funds
Summary
The Tinmouth select board approved the FY27 general budget and separately voted to earmark $30,000 for reappraisal, $40,000 for highway equipment replacement, and $40,000 for the capital building fund; individual vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
At the special meeting the select board approved the fiscal‑year 27 general budget by motion and voice vote. The Chair (S1) moved to approve the general budget and the motion was seconded; board members indicated approval by voice.
Board members then reviewed select earmarks from the town's unencumbered balance (reported in discussion as about $193,000). A motion to allocate $30,000 to the reappraisal special fund, $40,000 to the highway equipment replacement fund, and $40,000 to the capital building fund was moved and seconded; the board approved the allocations by voice without individual tallies recorded.
Members discussed the cash‑flow target and noted that setting aside funds for the reappraisal will avoid raising taxes for those costs over the next several years. The board agreed to finalize the article language and signatures needed for the warning and administrative forms.
