Mansfield Finance Committee Approves $14,100 Transfer For Radio Tower

Finance Committee · Meeting of August 21, 2026

Mansfield Finance Committee approves $14,100 for a stalled radio tower project after a $3 million free cash year. The panel voted unanimously to transfer the funds from its reserve account to account 01-1922-00-524000 after an alleged contamination issue delayed cabling work at a new public-safety communications tower; staffer Mike said the foundation is complete and the tower goes up next week. Finance staffer Nick reported fiscal 2026 closed with about $3 million in free cash, up from $2.9 million a year earlier, aided by roughly $1 million in general fund turnbacks tied to a spending freeze.

Members also flagged a Bristol County pension assessment that could rise $800,000 to $2 million, with one member warning a prolonged bear market "scares me." A bidder offered $360,000 for one of three Rolling Green house lots.
