From the minutes

“Mr. MacAskill moved, pursuant to MGL c39 s9 that the Board of Selectmen set the date for the 2021 Annual Town Meeting as Saturday, May 8, 2021 at 10:00AM and further to establish a rain date if necessary on Saturday, May 15, 2021 at 10:00AM to be held at Stadium Field 75 Oak Street also known as Monomoy Regional High School. 2nd by Mr. Howell. Mr. Howell pointed out that he has done many fundraisers through the years in May. This is going to require a higher power because May is our monsoon season. Mr. Ballantine noted that this does not affect the day they vote. Attorney Giorgio emphasized that the Board cannot change the date of the Annual election. It has to be provided for in the charter. The vote was 4-0-0 with Mr. MacAskill, Mr. McManus, Mr. Howell and Mr. Ballantine voting aye by roll call.” (Motion: MacAskill, second: Howell)
