The committee reviewed proposed FY2026–2027 budgets for Human Services, Land Use, and Nathaniel Witherell but did not approve the overall town budget at this meeting. Witherell plans to increase occupancy through expanded memory care admissions, broader hospital referrals, and other operational changes; 25 memory care referrals were declined in the first half of FY2026 because of capacity limits. The committee also asked staff to refine revenue estimates, review several funding and capital-planning issues, and evaluate how facility ceiling and call-bell projects could be phased together.
