Marshfield Town Meeting approved Article 13, setting the annual spending caps for all town revolving funds for the 2027 fiscal year. While the article is typically routine, the $85,000 expenditure limit for the newly established airport fund sparked a debate regarding potential expansion of the facility.

Resident Joe Pervich questioned the limit, suggesting that even small amounts of town money could be used as matching funds to leverage millions in state or federal grants for airport expansion. You're basically opening up that place for massive expansion... kick in $5,000 and they'll give you massive amounts of money, Pervich warned. Town Counsel Bob Galvin, who also serves on the Board of Public Works, countered that physical and environmental constraints make further expansion a practical impossibility. There is no further ability to expand the airport as a practical matter... they've just completed their final phase, Galvin stated. Following the clarification, the hall approved the expenditure limits as presented.

Motion: To set the FY2027 expenditure limits.

Vote: Passed
