Select Board authorizes K5 pavement marking contract, approves FY27 budget framework
Select Board · Meeting of January 27, 2026
HINGHAM — Select Board approves $75,000 K5 pavement marking contract, balanced FY27 budget. The board voted unanimously to authorize Town Administrator Tom Mayo to sign the agreement, which covers sidewalks, crosswalks, ADA-compliant accessible parking, and public parking lots using modern road paint for improved nighttime and wet weather visibility. The FY27 departmental budget totals approximately $38.45 million, coming in about $60,000 under the fiscal cap and balanced without significant cuts, with savings driven largely by reduced Article 4 funding and multiple retirements.
The board unanimously recommended nine warrant articles for the 2026 Annual Town Meeting, including a $2.9 million Recreation Department revolving fund request and removal of Article R after resolving the capital transfer need.
