Close the September 6, 2018 Special Town Meeting Warrant
That the Board of Selectmen close the September 6, 2018 Special Town Meeting Warrant
From the minutes
“Mr. Madigan moved that the Board of Selectmen close the September 6, 2018 Special Town Meeting Warrant. Second by Mr. Dahlen. Before voting on the motion, Town Manager René Read briefly updated the Board on the anticipated articles: 1) An Article regarding use of Stabilization Funds: This article will authorize the withdrawal of funds from the Stabilization account to cover the FY18 deficit spending, which was a result of this winter's storms. It will cover costs related to overtime for Fire, Police, and DPW staff, a Police contract settlement which occurred after Town Meeting, and some coverage towards the cost of the armourment of the seawall. He mentioned that he, along with a number of other Duxbury Town staff, recently attended a FEMA orientation workshop for filing for disaster relief funds. He mentioned that the Town should be able to use some of the FEMA reimbursement funds to replenish the Stabilization Fund. Some of the funds might come in before the March, 2019 ATM. In addition, by the March 2019 ATM the Town might also know how much funding will be available from the State grant for which the $3 million maximum has been applied for. So at the 2019 ATM there will be an article to replenish the Stabilization Fund and the dollar amount will take all of above into consideration. 2) An Article regarding Seawall Easements: We need to have an article regarding seawall easements so that the maintenance work can be done on the seawall. Easements would be on both sides of the seawall to allow for work on both the seaward side and the landward side and to include access points. Mr. Dahlen pointed out having access points will help keep the cost down. There was a brief discussion about the footage of the easements which ranged from 30 ft. on the seaward side to between 10 ft.-15 ft. on the landward side. The exact footage remains to be worked out. 3) An Article as a result of a Citizen's Petition from Dr. Dan Hebert: This article will be proposing a zoning change that would allow veterinary hospitals by special permit in the Residential Compatibility (RC) district. 4) An Article submitted by Island Creek Oysters: This article will for a zoning change to allow office use in the two front buildings on the former Battelle property. With respect to a third building on that site Mr. Read indicated that he expects that there will be a separate Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with respect to maintaining it as a historical building. The Selectmen voted on the motion. VOTE: 3:0:0.” (Motion: Madigan, second: Dahlen)
