Finance Committee · Meeting of February 9, 2026
Tewksbury Finance Committee approves $25,000 police repair fund transfer. Chair Richard Levasseur led the committee through FY27 budget reviews across 14 departments; the Accounting budget rose 3.77 percent due to salary increases and expanded MUNIS software modules, while Solid Waste contracted $172,000 mainly from reduced volume. The committee unanimously backed the reserve transfer to address failing fresh air intake louvers causing police station temperatures to near 80 degrees.
Finance Director Al Rego attended his final meeting before taking a position in Bedford. Shawsheen Tech submitted a 5.2 percent budget increase; the committee flagged concern over prior overspending and retained earnings shortfalls stemming from bookkeeping issues.
