Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
Scituate’s projected FY27 costs increased primarily because more employees enrolled in municipal health plans and insurance rates are expected to rise. The committee offset some costs by reducing planned workers’ compensation and property insurance funding, while noting that the changes apply only to FY27 and could be revisited at the fall town meeting. The committee also reported a projected FY26 health insurance budget deficit of approximately $180,000 and proposed transferring funds at the April 13, 2026 special town meeting.
