lunenburgbudgetproject.org — written by the Lunenburg Budget Project, an independent tool for residents. Not affiliated with the Town of Lunenburg, the School Committee or the school district. The data this page is computed from: /data/boards.json

The town’s page lists the members and the meetings and carries no statement of what the board is for; the Charter and bylaws do.

No Facebook page of its own is linked from the board’s page.

Upcoming meetings

Nothing on the calendar for a future date. The site was last updated 2026-10-10; a meeting noticed since then appears when it is next built, and one that has already happened moves to recent meetings by itself.

The last 15 dates this board met, by today’s date rather than the day the site was built — so a meeting moves here on its own. For a program, every agenda and set of minutes as one text file: /minutes/by-law-committee.txt.

Votes, newest first

From the town’s minutes (24 of 25 sets read) and our minutes of the recordings (0), joined per meeting: 10 substantive, 32 procedural (accepting minutes, adjourning). Where both records have a vote the town’s wording stands; none disagree on the outcome.

The town’s minutes are the record: a vote from them carries the minutes’ own words, checked verbatim. A vote from the recording only was written by a language model from machine captions — a motion as heard, and “not audible” a finding about the recording — and links to the second in the video. Both records are read as they arrive and joined here, whichever came first.

Budget schedule

Measured from this board’s own posted agendas over the last 2 budget cycles (July to June): the dates each subject appeared. The “expect” column is the typical first and last date across those cycles — a scheduled subject, not a decision.

Town MeetingMar 12 → May 14Mar 12, Apr 9, May 14Jun 11, Aug 13, Sep 15

A cycle is named for the fiscal year it builds: FY28 is the budget being built now. Read off the agenda text with a word search, so a subject named differently on an agenda is missed and one mentioned in passing is counted.

As of 2026-10-10.
