SHERBORN -- November 20, 2025, Dover Select Board permanently adopts four-day Town Hall schedule and sets a 2.75-to-3 percent COLA for non-union staff. The board voted 3-0 Thursday on both measures, with Chair Robin Hunter citing zero resident complaints during the months-long trial and member Cam Hudson calling the COLA range fiscally prudent given looming budget pressures. The schedule, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., Fridays closed, takes effect January 1, 2026, contingent on personnel board approval; the personnel board had recommended 3.25 percent, while the Warrant Committee proposed 2.75 to 3 percent. The board also awarded a heating oil contract to Holliston Oil Service at $0.1950 over the Boston-area daily low for a period running through June 30, 2027, renewed common victualer licenses for American Legion Post 209 and Dunkin' Donuts, and opened the May 4, 2026 Annual Town Meeting Warrant with a January 8 closing deadline.
