BRANDON — Residents in Brandon will gather at Brandon Town Hall, 1 Conant Square, on Monday, March 2, at 7 p.m. Voting for most items on the warning happens the next day, 7 a.m.-7 p.m., at the American Legion on Franklin Street.

At Monday’s meeting, members of the selectboard will explain their recommended budget for fiscal year 2027. On Monday night Brandonites will also vote on whether to establish an Advisory Budget Committee, and whether that committee should be appointed by the selectboard or elected.

On Town Meeting Day balloting at the Legion, three incumbents will be running to keep their seats on the selectboard: Brian Coolidge for three years plus Cecil Reniche-Smith and Jeff Haylon for the two 1-year seats.

The incumbent town clerk and town treasurer, Susan Gage, is running unopposed to be returned to those positions for three years.

On the money questions, the selectboard asked for approval to spend $3,504,165 for municipal expenses, with $562,012 to be in no-tax revenue and $2,942,153 to be raise in property taxes. That would represent a spending increase of $100,200, or 2.9%, and a hike in taxes of $65,508, or 2.3%.

In 12 other money questions, residents will vote on additional property taxes that would send:

• $25,000 to Brandon American Legion Post #55.

• $82,580 to the Brandon Area Rescue Squad.

• $92,000 to the public library.

• $15,500 to the senior center.

• $10,200 for VNA & Hospice of the Southwest Region.

• $7,000 to Fourth of July.

• and amounts of $5,000 or less to six more organizations.

Brandon voters will join their peers in Leicester, Whiting, Goshen, Sudbury and Pittsford in casting ballots on the budget and board members representing the Otter Valley Unified Union schools. The board warned a FY27 spending plan of $28,841,999, which is an increase of $818,286, or 2.92%. The spending is $14,257 per pupil in education spending — up about $5.5% from this year.

Brandon will also be voting on an OVUU school director position for a three-year term, plus three at-large school board seats — two with a three-year term, and one to serve one year of a now-vacant three-year term.
