Beacon Falls voters at a special town meeting on Aug. 10 approved a $27,000 line-item transfer to cover higher-than-expected sludge processing costs.
Sheryl Feducia moved to approve "the 2025-2026 transfer of $27,000 from Line 10.90.83.1170 (Contingency) to Line 10.90.67.1770 (Sludge Processing) to cover mid-year increases in costs," and Jack Betkoski seconded. The motion passed with 14 ayes, 1 abstention and 0 opposed.
