Budget Update: As of the last meeting with the town manager, we are still within our requirements for state certification. The select board reached out to Jo
(COA Director) and Catherine about budget consequences specifically about the custodial coverage (see below).
Director Evaluation: Jean presented the third draft of the evaluation for review. Board members will spend some time before the next meeting to review the
draft and bring changes and suggestions next month.

Review FY26 Action Plan: Catherine shared the current status of the FY25 plan. Catherine also broke down the services we most utilize from MLS/MBLC and
what could potentially be impacted from federal budget issues.
Custodial coverage update: Now that Dougie has retired, the town plans to replace his position with a cleaning service. Catherine and Jo, COA Director, will be
having a follow-up with the town manager and DPW to
discuss what this would entail next week.
