Greenwich taxing board OKs $74,000 legal settlement, budget items
Other Committee · Meeting of March 23, 2026
Greenwich's Board of Estimate and Taxation approved a $74,000 legal settlement and more than $1.4 million in mid-year budget appropriations Monday, three weeks before its final vote on the fiscal 2027 budget. The board unanimously accepted Assessor Sarah Elliott's report on 912 Board of Assessment Appeals hearings, which yielded roughly $4.3 million in assessment reductions. Controller Joan Lynch reported general fund invested cash at $227 million and a retirement portfolio of $748.7 million, and said speed-camera citations "dropped by over 50 percent from 571 per day in January to 277 per day in February." The town's Energy Management Advisory Committee warned that energy costs rose 15 percent to $9.2 million even as consumption stayed flat, with Greenwich High School responsible for 20 percent of town energy use.
The board also voted 12-0 to accept a DPW septic hauler audit and unanimously approved a retirement board governance change, and heard that Old Greenwich School construction starts the first week of April.
