Public Comment None FY’26 Update Julia Saari-Franks, the Director of Business Services, provided the committee with two updates on the current fiscal year. First, more was budgeted last year for vocational tuition than will likely be used, so there will be some savings from that budget line. Second, there were unanticipated and unavoidable increased costs associated with replacing a nurse in the district quickly, which required the use of a temporary staffing agency until the position was permanently filled. This resulted in unexpected charges of $60,182.16 above the budgeted amount.

Public Speak –no one was present for public speak 2. Presentation by Bob Newton, Aquifer Protection Committee Recording of the presentation on Easthampton Media 3. Discussion of proposed zoning changes B Newton suggests that our focus should be on the recharge areas that we want to protect. The Aquifer Overlay District is complex – some areas have sand and are critical to protect; other areas have more clay and require less protection. The complexity of the district is not all the same and we need more information.
