Sutton Select Board approved the $318,334 town meeting warrant while receiving fire department study findings. The warrant includes $40,000 for Police Station water tank repairs and transfers 38 Main Street to its resident taxpayer. The comprehensive fire department study revealed volunteer membership declined from 32 to 27 members across three stations, with response times improving to 8 minutes 8 seconds in 2025.
The study recommends consolidating two fire stations and implementing 24/7 staffing, potentially improving the town's Insurance Services Office rating from Class 4 to Class 3 and reducing insurance costs.
