# Finance Committee 9-16-2026

The RCTV Studios Finance Committee convened on September 16, 2026, focusing primarily on financial oversight, policy review, and budgetary matters. Key procurement-related discussions included a detailed review of financial policies such as debt and capital policy, cash reserves, and OPEB funding strategies, with considerations to update these policies to align with best practices and model templates. The committee deliberated on the town's capital improvement funding, reserve targets, and the impact of the override on fiscal planning. They also discussed the Reading Ice Arena lease provisions and financial disclosures, ultimately deciding that current information and audits did not justify initiating a town-initiated audit at this time. The committee planned to revisit these topics in future meetings, particularly in relation to the upcoming financial forum and FY28 budget preparations. A motion to adjourn was passed by roll call vote at the meeting's conclusion.
