State legislative agenda development

Council started building its first true legislative agenda for the 2027 long session, focused on sewer capacity for economic development, better state road funding (the town has paid $5–6 million local shares on recent road projects), the public works facility, fiber/utility protections, and preserving local governing authority from state preemption.

Right-of-way encroachment fee increases

Utility companies will now pay much more to dig up town rights-of-way: $1,000 for major encroachments plus 19 cents per linear foot, instead of a flat $100. A mile of installation jumps from $1,000 to about $5,500, offsetting staff time rather than falling on taxpayers.
