To approve the Annual Town Meeting warrant articles as presented tonight
From the minutes
“Mr. Ballantine moved to approve the Annual Town Meeting warrant articles as presented tonight. Ms. Kavanagh seconded the motion. Mr. Howell said he is not willing to vote for anything moving forward right now based on where we are with our wastewater and what the community knows. He said the same 5-10 questions are outstanding with no answers. He noted that the Board of Health hasn't been working on it. Chairman MacAskill pointed out that they are voting the warrant tonight and not to support the articles. Mr. Ballantine noted that the committee is working hard on getting the answers to these questions prior to Town Meeting and we are expecting much more detailed information from our consultants by the end of this month which should answer most of the questions that are still outstanding. He added that the Board of Health is looking at what is required. Mr. Howell pointed out that the Board of Health hasn't voted. The motion carried by a unanimous vote.” (Motion: Ballantine, second: Kavanagh)
