Capital Policy Rules Get Clearer

The group agreed on a clearer method for measuring capital financing: annual cash outlay, debt service, and capital stabilization contributions—not the total amount authorized for borrowing. It also agreed to recommend a five-year review cycle for financial policies and to add a provision directing rolled-off debt service into the capital stabilization fund when it is not replaced with new borrowing.

Three reserve actions recommended for Town Meeting

The Financial Policy Working Group unanimously recommended three reserve-related warrant articles: transferring $750,000 to the General Stabilization Fund, transferring $1.25 million to a proposed Capital Stabilization Fund, and releasing $1.5 million from the Middle School Stabilization Fund to offset FY27 debt service. The General Stabilization Fund has about $1.1 million against a policy target of approximately $5.95 million.
