Advisory Finance Committee recommends $75,000 efficiency study for Town, School
Advisory Finance Committee · Meeting of March 9, 2026
Westborough Advisory Finance Committee allocates $75,000 for School-Town operational efficiency study. The committee voted 6-1 to recommend the allocation from free cash, with member Saroja Hanasoge casting the sole dissenting vote on cost-effectiveness grounds. Other members argued that third-party oversight ensures objectivity in analyzing department operations and identifying potential synergies.
The committee confirmed the FY27 operating budget as fully approved, with four warrant articles pending Town Meeting action, and endorsed Community Preservation Committee projects, small business grants, and election equipment funding for the fiscal year.
