The board noted that preliminary figures exclude cost-of-living adjustments due to ongoing union contract negotiations. Detailed discussions focused on department-specific staffing needs, the integration of capital projects, maintenance requirements, and strategies for managing operational costs and revenues.

Webster Town Board Workshop Meeting
The primary focus of the meeting was a presentation by the Highway Superintendent regarding the Salt Barn/Wash Station project. The presentation covered the process, timeline, estimated costs, and bid results, noting that bids were received on December 10, 2025. The Superintendent detailed the necessity of the replacement due to the age and limited capacity of the existing structure, which risks road safety during winter shortages. Cost-saving measures, including value engineering and self-performing site work, were discussed, alongside the securing of a $600,000 Water Quality Improvement Grant related to EPA and MS4 compliance. Overall project costs were reported as being slightly under the latest estimate and well within the bond authorization. The Board discussed the merits of concrete versus wood push walls, with a preference for concrete due to durability, and deferred decisions on minor elements pending further exploration of enhanced fireproofing options.
