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 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 | FY23 | FY24 | FY26 | FY27 | FY28 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Town Meeting | Oct 28 → Nov 16 | Nov 8, Nov 9, Nov 17, Nov 23, Jan 24, May 1, May 9 | Nov 16 | Oct 28, Jan 27, Feb 10, Apr 28 | Sep 8 | Sep 14 |
| warrant articles | Oct 27 → Apr 28 | Nov 8, Nov 9, Nov 17, Apr 25, May 9 | Oct 24 | Sep 23, Apr 28 | Oct 27 | — |

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.
