Templeton's Advisory Committee elected a new clerk and weighed a tight FY27 budget. Members unanimously chose April, whose surname the record does not give, to succeed Noel Francis. Chairwoman Jacqueline MacCumbert read Town Accountant Amber DuPont's written answers, including that the $400,000 from the Baldwinville Elementary School sale cannot go into the general fund and needs a Town Meeting article.
A member shared a worst case in which each $1 of rate increase equals $1,199,579 in levy and an average bill reaches $4,490.24. Members said an override was likely to fail, with the school meeting set for March 9.
