Sherborn Advisory Committee prepares for April town meeting amid budget concerns. The Committee reviewed year-end projections April 15 showing multiple departmental overages, with the Select Board facing $22,000 over, Legal exceeding budget even with a town meeting supplement, Town Buildings at $50,000 over, and Fire Department at $30,000 over. The Committee approved planning for the April 28 Annual Town Meeting, including Article 11's $125,000 capital stabilization allocation for infrastructure studies.
The Committee agreed to pursue a formal approval process requiring departments projected over budget by $25,000 or more to seek advance approval from the Select Board and Advisory Committee rather than seek forgiveness later.
