During a brief pause in the Annual Town Meeting to conduct a Special Town Meeting, voters approved Article 1 to address immediate financial needs for the current 2026 fiscal year. The article authorizes the transfer of $596,510 from the town's free cash account to provide supplemental appropriations for various departmental budgets.

The supplemental funding ensures that town departments can cover unforeseen expenses or shortfalls before the current fiscal year concludes on June 30. The motion was brought forward by Steve Walsh of the Advisory Committee and received broad support from the floor.

Motion: Steve Walsh moves to transfer $596,510 from free cash for supplemental appropriations.

Vote: Passed
