Mayor's Update on the Budget Override

Home Posted on September 11, 2025



The City of Amesbury has filed Council Bill 2025-089 requesting City Council approval to place a Proposition 2 ½ Override question on the November 4, 2025 ballot.

The proposed $6 million override would help fund the operating budgets of both the City and Amesbury Public Schools beginning in FY27. 

A Financial Advisory Board comprised of city and school leadership was formed to review long-term financial needs, reduce reliance on free cash, and provide transparency for voters.
