Select board approves FY27 highway budget; transcript shows differing figures on record
Summary
The Tinmouth select board approved the fiscal‑year 27 highway budget by voice. The transcript records two different numeric references to the highway figure ($517,600 and 717,600); the board approved the motion but did not record individual tallies or resolve the numeric discrepancy on the record.
The select board voted to approve the fiscal‑year 27 highway budget during the special meeting. A board member (S2) referenced a highway figure of "$517,600" during discussion; shortly thereafter a motion to approve the highway budget included the figure "717600" in the motion language. The board approved the motion by voice ('All in favor') but did not record individual vote tallies or clarify the discrepancy between the two figures on the record.
"$517,600," a Select board member said when discussing the highway budget estimate. Later, the motion to approve the highway budget contained the figure "717600". The meeting record shows the board approved the motion with a voice vote; specific yes/no counts are not provided in the transcript.
Board members discussed that there was little room to cut the highway budget without reducing other services. The article flags the numeric discrepancy for the town clerk and treasurer to confirm before the warning and budget packet are published for voter review.
