Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The proposal would provide stabilization funding and potentially protect the library budget, but the larger appropriation depends on voter approval of a Proposition 2½ override. If Town Meeting instead appropriates $75,000 in free cash for the library, the contingency changes as described in the motion. The board also approved a police union agreement through June 30, 2028 and kept the police chief’s salary at $193,000 for both July 2026 and July 2027.
