The approved budget would maintain current service levels while adding funding for a patrol position, replacement radios, facility HVAC consulting, an electric vehicle, AED replacements, and a water employee. The board’s action sends the budget and other warrant articles to Annual Town Meeting; it does not itself approve the proposed capital projects or other town meeting measures. The Indian Hill proposal would create an approximately eight-space public gravel lot and is intended to reduce neighborhood parking pressure near Cat Rock Park.
