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 5 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.
| subject | expect | FY21 | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 | FY28 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Town Meeting | Sep 12 → Feb 24 | Sep 10, Sep 30, Oct 17, Feb 24 | Jul 15, Sep 15, Sep 20, Feb 24, Mar 8, Mar 9, Mar 16, Mar 23 | Sep 12 | Nov 13, Apr 30 | Sep 21, Oct 5 |

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.
