The budget recommendation is not the final adoption, but it sets the Board’s preferred framework for the town’s next fiscal year. Proposed changes include placing $550,000 into the excess levy account to avoid taxing residents for that amount, adding $200,000 to the OPEB account, and increasing snow-and-ice reserves by $200,000. After storm-related beach damage, the Board also unanimously waived the $235 emergency-permit fee for beach properties from March 5 through April 6, though other follow-up charges may apply.
