The Select Board discussed changes to any remaining proposed budgets and warrant articles. Moroney discussed the need for a warrant article to address the handling of funds from an event such as the Harvest Dinner. Moroney informed on research and information obtained which resulted in the creation of the warrant article she presented, which would see if the town would vote to expand the purpose of the current Recreational Building CRF to include multi use courts, fields and other assorted recreational improvements. Moroney discussed research into the price of constructing two pickleball courts, and informs the cost from one company was $70,000. Dave Scalley recommended including a provision for the acceptance of donations into that warrant. The Select Board was in favor of this addition.

Selectman Mycko informed he would like to make an addition to the budget following a meeting of the Energy Commission. Mycko proposed adding $1000 to a new line called streetlight maintenance in the general maintenance budget to cover the cost of any warranty work related to streetlights due to the cost of labor no longer being covered.

Moroney also discussed a change to the Police Department warrant article for the addition of a 5th full time police officer, and the inability to exactly determine the cost of benefits for this employee as it is unknown what benefits this future employee will choose. Lieutenant MacMillan informed that in other towns warrant articles do not list the exact cost, just that benefits are included. No changes made to this warrant at this time.

Moroney discussed the work done into short term rentals following last year's deliberative session and stated she plans to continue.

Moroney informed she would continue to research this issue and continue working on this into 2026, and referenced other towns like Lincoln, who charges $100/registration, and Jefferson. Moroney stated this issue is of concern due to the health and safety of those visiting town, as there have been concerns previously.
