Budget Committee · Meeting of January 20, 2026
NH ALLENSTOWN — Budget Committee splits on two waste-related warrant articles for town ballot. The committee voted 7 to 3 against recommending a $450,000 appropriation for solid waste collection and disposal, citing lack of finalized contracts and cost certainty, though the article will appear on the ballot with potential amendments. A separate $25,000 Recycling Revolving Fund was recommended 7 to 3, to be funded from unassigned fund balance.
Committee members noted concerns about due diligence and anticipated alternative amendments at the Deliberative Session.
