Finance Committee · Meeting of September 15, 2026
Duxbury Finance Committee previews a $3 million FY28 revenue increase and flags a looming $43 million to $45 million PFAS water treatment project the town can't yet afford. Chair Betsy Sullivan led the session with Vice Chair Friend Weiler and members Mark Hokanson, Ashley Maher and Jackson Kent Jr.; members Al Hoban and Kathleen Glynn were absent. The town's finance director said exempt debt sits at 9.25 percent against a 12 percent cap, with $74 million in departmental capital requests already filed for the next five-year cycle.
She said she remains "deeply concerned about our ability to pay for a $43, $44, $45 million project out of the revenues that we're generating from the Water Enterprise Fund." Members also learned the School Committee plans to return more than $700,000 in unspent funds, and approved February 3 minutes 4-1 with one abstention.
