Commission adopts revised FY27 operating budget after payroll formula correction
Summary
After staff identified a payroll formula error that used 259 versus 261 working days, the Commission approved a revised FY27 salary total of $507,477 and an overall budget of $598,877; the union has not yet ratified its contract, so the salary figure may rise.
Commissioner Jen Daman moved to approve the revised FY27 operating budget as presented; Commissioner Rachel Wilkes seconded and the motion was approved 3–0. The staff report said an incorrect formula in the payroll spreadsheet had calculated 259 working days instead of the correct 261, which affected hourly employees but did not change salaried employee totals.
The revised salary total listed in the minutes is $507,477, bringing the overall FY27 operating budget to $598,877. The minutes also note that the union has not yet ratified its contract and staff expect the salary figure to increase when the contract is finalized. The Assistant Town Administrator is recorded as identifying the formula error.
