# Finance and Warrant Commission - 11/09/26

The Westwood Finance and Warrant Commission meeting on November 9, 2026, included a year-end update from the Select Board chair and town administrator. They reported that voters supported the FS1 project at the November 3 special town meeting and thanked the commission for its extensive review. The town is advancing a strategic facilities capital improvement plan for future building needs and planning its FY2028 operating budget and five-year capital program. The presentation also cited a $1.3 million grant for the Conan Road culvert and a $625,000 Drug-Free Communities grant; these were funding awards, not new purchasing approvals at this meeting.

Procurement-related updates included the town’s competitive procurement and public search for town counsel, which resulted in engaging KP Law. The finance department is also converting from an unsupported legacy system to Tyler’s Munis financial software; implementation funding was approved at town meeting about two years earlier, with receivables and payroll functions planned for later phases. No new contract award, bid approval, or spending motion was taken during this meeting. The commission approved the September 22 minutes and amended October 7 minutes; the Select Board separately voted to adjourn.
