The policy is intended as guidance, not a mandate, so departments could consider environmental factors while remaining within budget. The minutes do not record a final vote on the policy. The Board also reviewed updates to Annual Town Meeting warrant articles, including a proposed cash-return expenditure, revised solid waste contract figures, and possible postponement of the sewer lateral article.
