BELMONT — Warrant Committee heard invasive species management proposal and reviewed midyear finances at April 8 meeting. The Conservation Commission sought CPA funding for a three- to four-year Phragmites removal project in Beaver Brook near Rock Meadow, though Committee members expressed concern about long-term sustainability and funding. The School Department reported a projected $308,000 year-end general fund deficit driven primarily by higher-than-budgeted special education costs, while the Town's finance team reported stable overall performance with revenues tracking in line with projections.
Town Administrator Patrice Garvin announced the appointment of Geoff Lubien as Chief Financial Officer, and Select Board Chair Matt Taylor reported the Annual Town Meeting warrant would be signed April 9 with a two-part annotated warrant expected in May and June.
