Moira board votes 3‑1 to keep working highway superintendent for one year to stay under tax cap
Summary
The Town of Moira board voted to proceed with Option 1 of the FY2026 budget, keeping a working Highway Superintendent for one year; roll call was 3‑Aye, 0‑No, 1‑Abstain. The board will review the position during next year’s budget process.
Supervisor Chad Niles moved the board to adopt Option 1 of the preliminary budget to retain a working Highway Superintendent for one year; Councilman Adam Deuyour seconded the motion. The board voted by roll call: Niles — Aye; Deuyour — Aye; Robinson — Aye; Trimm — Abstain. The motion carried 3‑1.
Board members discussed the budget tradeoffs underpinning the choice: Option 1 keeps the draft under the 2% tax cap, while Option 2 — which assumed a non‑working superintendent and an additional MEO salary of $52,000 — would have pushed the budget over the cap. The board agreed to revisit the position during next year’s budget process.
