Attleboro City Council Meeting 11-10-2026

The Attleboro Municipal Council held a special meeting on November 10, 2026, to address business postponed from its November 3 meeting and conduct committee business. The council approved a $40,825 transfer from the citywide reserve fund for special-election costs, including election salaries, professional services, advertising, building rental and custodial costs, and election police. The motion was amended to remove a declaration that the school committee seat was vacant; the council said the funding would allow the elections office to proceed with arrangements and contracts while the vacancy and election-date votes were deferred. The council also approved a transfer reducing state and county assessments from $4,552,629 to $4,470,478, and approved a transfer from the citywide reserve fund to Public Works to install a traffic light at Pleasant Street and Emory; the transfer amount is unclear in the transcript. A separate $4,990 reserve-fund transfer was approved, but its purpose is garbled. A proposed National Grid underground-facilities project on Menon Road was struck from the docket because it was no longer proceeding.

The council set the FY2027 property tax classification rate at 1.34%; an amendment to set it at 1.38% failed 3–8, and the main motion passed 8–3. It confirmed Mary Hind as water superintendent unanimously, with discussion of department staffing, budget oversight, and upcoming capital projects. The council also accepted donations, including a conference table valued at $1,500 from Mill City Construction, and approved an online-only Class 2 auto-dealer application. An ordinance amendment establishing the War Monuments and Memorials Commission was approved, with provisions including recommendations on maintenance and projects requiring city funds. Members also discussed possible changes to how water and wastewater service fees are reviewed and set, but no fee changes were approved in the portion provided.
