The Annual Town Meeting is set for next Wednesday, April 24. All voters are asked to come to the Memorial School for the 6:30 start. (Come early to avoid the rush and you can listen to the high school acapella group, the Sound Waves!) Free childcare is available for those who pre-register through the Parks and Recreation Department. A public information forum on the articles is set for this Thursday, 4/18, at 7PM at Town Hall.

The warrant for the Annual Town Meeting (ATM) is now set listing the 21 articles that voters will be asked to consider. Wednesday, April 24 is the date of the meeting scheduled for 6:30pm at the Memorial Elementary School. The warrant is posted both on the Town’s web site and at a handful of locations throughout the town. In a change from tradition, the Annual Report will not be delivered to all households, but it will be available on-line, in various locations around town and at the Annual Town Meeting. The Finance Committee Report, complete with the proposed budget and all the warrant articles will be mailed directly to all households.

An Early Look at the Annual Town Meeting

Our Annual Town Meeting is still a ways off – this year scheduled for Wednesday, April 24, but some of the special issues that voters will be asked to decide are taking shape.  The operating budgets are close to being finalized, with most requests being straight forward.  Many of the capital requests are also typical.  However, there are a handful of special items about which voters will want to become educated to make informed decisions.  A brief introduction here to these items will set the stage for more detailed information in the weeks leading up to the Annual Town Meeting, including public forums dedicated to each topic.
