Cromwell Special Town Meeting Approves $123,900 in Fund Appropriations
Town Council · Meeting of June 10, 2026
Cromwell's special town meeting cleared two special revenue fund appropriations totaling $123,900 for fiscal year 2026-2027 in under five minutes on June 10. Presiding as mayor, Town Council member James Demetriades called the meeting to order at 6:50 p.m. and adjourned it at 6:55, with electors voting unanimously to authorize a $23,900 dog fund and a $100,000 sidewalk fund. Finance Director Sharon DeVoe fielded a question from council member Jamin DeProto about why the sidewalk money, already approved in the regular budget and ratified by referendum, required a second vote, answering simply: "Statute." The $100,000 sidewalk appropriation represented a transfer of funds already committed by the Council and endorsed by voters; the town meeting vote was the final required procedural step under state law.
