AFC approves R&R booklet and authorizes printing 400 copies ahead of Town Meeting
Summary
The committee approved the Advisory Finance Committee booklet (with minor typographical edits allowed) and authorized the purchase of 400 printed booklets for Annual Town Meeting; the approvals were recorded by unanimous roll call votes.
The Westborough Advisory Finance Committee approved its R&R booklet and authorized the printing of 400 copies for distribution at Annual Town Meeting.
Speaker 4 moved to approve the Advisory Finance Committee booklet as amended, allowing typographical and formatting edits to be made by the chair, vice chair, or their designee; the motion was seconded and passed by unanimous recorded vote. The committee discussed consistency of wording (for example, 'minority opinion' vs. 'minority statement') and agreed to make non-substantive corrections.
Later the chair presented a quote for printing (estimate based on a 68–76 page booklet) and recommended ordering 400 copies to meet anticipated demand without exceeding the AFC expense budget. Speaker 4 moved and Bradley seconded a motion to authorize the purchase of 400 copies; the committee voted unanimously in favor.
Committee members discussed making the booklet available electronically (QR code/PDF) and asked staff to publicize key materials on the town website. The AFC noted typographical and formatting changes may be made up to printing and that the chair will coordinate final edits.
