Selectman Trindade moved to close the May 21, 2018 Special and Annual Town Meeting Warrants
From the minutes
“Selectman Trindade moved to close the May 21, 2018 Special and Annual Town Meeting Warrants Selectman Foresto seconded. Discussion: Selectman Crowley requested that Article 2 and 3 in the Special Town Meeting Warrant be switched noting that they both will need explanation at town meeting. All agreed with the reordering of these two articles. The purpose of Articles 5 and 6 in the Special Town Meeting Warrant is to move existing unused funds from completed projects to the Water and Sewer accounts. Mr. Boynton noted these funds are for the project(s) design and are already included in the existing water rates. Selectman Crowley requested confirmation that the bonding for these project(s) is for construction only and not the design. Mr. Boynton confirmed. Selectman Trindade commended the Planning Board for addressing all of the zoning issues. Mr. Boynton noted one of the Annual Town Meeting Warrant articles is a place holder for potential Charter changes. He will reach out to the Charter Review Committee for specifics. He noted other articles are housekeeping items including creating a new revolving fund for the Council on Aging food services and amending the Park and Recreation revolving fund to include salaries. Once the Board votes to close the warrants, meetings will need to be scheduled for specific warrant article discussions and recommendations. All were reminded of the meeting scheduled prior to the March 19th Special Town Meeting. The group decided to meet on Monday, March 26th at 7:00pm to discuss and vote on the water and sewer enterprise funds and to discuss the May Special and Annual Town Meeting Warrants. VOTE: 5-0-0.” (Motion: Trindade, second: Foresto)
