2.         FY26 Draft Expenses

Deputy Manager Marshall provided an overview of the planned expenditures included in the draft FY 26 Municipal Services Budget, including information regarding cost increases in order to maintain the current level of municipal services, and areas the proposed budget was reduced in an effort to offset some of those cost increases. Selectboard members asked about costs and services, understanding that they did not believe the taxpayers wished to decrease the level of services currently provided. 

3.         Executive Session

MOTION was made by Jacki Murphy and SECONDED by Maureen P. Dakin to find that premature general public knowledge of contracts, pending or probable civil litigation, and personnel issues would clearly place this Selectboard at a substantial disadvantage because the Selectboard risks disclosing its negotiation strategy if it discusses these topics in public.

The MOTION carried.

The MOTION carried.
