Article 5 outlines a request to spend $1,025,824.93 from free cash for a variety of capital projects and municipal expenses. The article covers approximately eight to ten different line items, including sick leave buybacks, new turnout gear for the Fire Department, and facility management maintenance. During the preview, Town Moderator Jim Fitzgerald noted that each line item will be read individually at Town Meeting to allow residents to question specific purchases.

A notable inclusion in the funding request is money for the design of the North River and South River shoaling dredging project. The package also includes an "HP e switch replacement" for the town's IT infrastructure. The Town Moderator explained that if items are questioned, they will be set aside for individual discussion before a final vote is taken on the total capital budget recommendations.
