The water budget was endorsed without an immediate rate increase; retained earnings may cover the costs, while the Select Board will set rates later. The recreation budget adds staff for new camps and programs, with expected revenues projected to cover those additions, and provides more funding for watering Burchard Field. The committee also supported six proposed Community Preservation projects recommended by the Community Preservation Committee and approved a bylaw change allowing the town moderator to fill Finance Committee vacancies.
