The committee reviewed four FY27 warrant articles but did not vote on them, including a proposal that could allow off-premise digital billboards and a request to use eminent domain for remaining Otis Street sidewalk easements. The billboard proposal's potential annual revenue was described as roughly an $8 impact on the average single-family tax bill.

The committee is still evaluating several proposals before Annual Town Meeting, including zoning changes, possible redevelopment at One Research Drive, downtown zoning revisions, and the Otis Street sidewalk project. The Otis Street project is fully funded through grants and other sources, but authorization may be needed to obtain remaining easements if negotiations do not succeed. The committee also began reviewing the FY27 budget and expects to start voting on recommendations at a subsequent meeting.
