Greenfield panel sorts capital budget, health insurance ordinance for council

Other Committee · Meeting of April 7, 2026

Greenfield committee chairs interviewed a Precinct 3 council candidate and queued up a $1 million health insurance ordinance for a vote. Anne Delamith, a 20-year city planner, told the panel she wants "to get more involved with my local community" after neighbors urged her to apply for the vacant seat; a recommendation goes to Council President Wendelowski for a full council vote expected in April. Ways and Means will take up a Chapter 32B health insurance ordinance officials say could save roughly $1 million next year, plus a $25,000 to $250,000 appropriation to replace a generator at the police station, headed to a special meeting for final vote.

Chairs also debated repealing the office's five-day packet rule in favor of the 48-hour open meeting law minimum, and automating the council's email inbox to avoid open meeting law violations from reply-all messages. The meeting closed with a 3-0 roll call to adjourn at 6:49 p.m.
