Town of Norton OPEB M.G.L. c. 32B, S20 8/3/26 2 What is OPEB? Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) OPEB primarily consists of: •Retiree health insurance •Medicare supplement plans •Other post-retirement healthcare benefits Unlike pensions, OPEB benefits historically were funded on a "pay-as-you-go" basis rather than being fully pre-funded. 3 Why OPEB Matters The Town has promised future healthcare benefits to eligible retirees. Those future obligations create a long-term liability that: Must be measured through actuarial studies. Appears on the Town's financial statements. Impacts long-term financial planning. Is closely watched by bond rating agencies. The liability is spread over decades and does not represent an immediate bill due today. 4 Statewide Trend: Consistent OPEB Funding Massachusetts cities and towns are increasingly moving from simply reporting their OPEB liabilities to actively funding them. According to the 2026 PERAC review: • Most municipalities have established and OPEB trust fund • More than one-third of communities are now between 10% and 50% funded. • Communities making regular annual contributions have accumulated meaningful trust assets over time. • Bond-rating agencies increasingly consider whether municipalities have established and are following a credible OPEB funding strategy. . 5 The Town of Norton How are we doing? Invested $330,000.00 at 2025 Fall Town Meeting 6 Why Communities Are Funding OPEB Benefits include: • Lower l …

Open Space Committee

Open Space Committee to review water bylaws and plan next steps

The Norton Open Space Committee is meeting to review minutes from June 3, 2026, discuss committee updates, and consider water bylaws. The agenda is largely procedural, with no specific votes or proposals listed.

✓ Decided: Committee asks Town Manager to fund water treatment study

The Norton Open Space Committee approved two motions requesting the Town Manager to determine remaining funds in the water bodies account and to obtain cost estimates from TRC for vegetative screening and a comprehensive treatment proposal. The committee also reviewed draft revisions to the boating and waterways bylaw, retaining current prohibitions on trolling motors. No final decisions were made on treatment strategies, and the committee agreed to defer such decisions to an independent consultant.

New Business ¢ Committee Updates e Water Bylaws o An administrative update was provided regarding the Town’s water body management program. The prior program, which had been active since 2018 under the Select Board, has expired, and the Town is entering a new implementation phase. The Town Manager’s Office has requested that the Conservation Director assume responsibility for the primary administration of the program, coordination with consultants, and future funding requests. Due to regulatory separation requirements under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and applicable conflict-of- interest laws, the Conservation Director advised the Town Manager to consult with Town Counsel before making changes to the historical structure of the program. The Conservation Director confirmed a willingness to support the technical aspects of the program but stated that they cannot serve as the applicant because the Conservation Commission is the regulatory authority and the owner of the ponds. The Conservation Director reported meeting with TRC, the Town’s environment …
