City Hall·Limerick Budget Committee Meeting FY2027
Limerick Budget Committee Sets FY2027 Review Schedule
The Limerick Budget Committee met on September 24, 2026 to plan its review of department budgets for FY2027. Members agreed to meet October 1 at 6 p.m., skip meetings on October 8 and 22 while Chair Cheryl Edgerly is away, and meet October 15 to review simpler budgets that do not require department heads to appear. Department head presentations are expected to begin October 29 and run through November, with the Board of Selectmen joining in December to finalize recommendations.
Key points
- The committee agreed to meet October 1 at 6 p.m. and October 15, but not October 8 or October 22, when Edgerly will be away.
- Department head budget presentations are planned to start October 29 and continue through November, with the Board of Selectmen expected to join in December to vote on recommendations.
- Members discussed which departments need to appear in person, with the fire department and road commissioner identified as larger budgets warranting their own meetings.
- Janet Legere raised concerns about errors in the expense summary reports, including an account that should not exist and transfer station figures that appear to be missing from the 2027 column.
- Linda Friedrich said the treasurer is the only person who can correct errors in the reports, and members agreed to compile a list of questions rather than contact the treasurer individually.
- Members discussed budget tightening amid rising costs, including heating oil and fuel, and raised questions about heating town buildings that are not heavily used.
Next steps
- Amanda Mason will reach out to Treasurer Julie to ask her to attend the October 1 meeting at 6 p.m.
- Janet Legere, as secretary, will compile a calendar of department head presentations and contact departments that have already submitted budgets to schedule them starting October 29.
- Linda Friedrich will email Courtney to confirm meeting dates and times for posting on the town website.
- Edgerly will assign review tasks to members at the next meeting before her absence.
- Members will compile a list of questions and errors in the expense summary reports to share with the treasurer.
