Summary

The advisory committee agreed to highlight a $25 million roadway and sidewalk article in its report, approved several sets of minutes with edits, and voted to appoint an advisory member to the Neary Elementary School Building Committee.

The advisory committee reviewed its draft warrant letter and agreed to add a highlighted section for Article 13 (roadway and sidewalk improvements, roughly $25 million), after members said the item warranted special attention in the report. Members discussed organizing the report by budget/capital, water/enterprise funds, and adding a 3‑ to 5‑year fiscal forecast to provide context for voters.

The committee approved a series of meeting minutes (Jan. 13, Jan. 24, Feb. 4 and Feb. 20) with minor edits and recorded roll‑call votes and occasional abstentions where noted. Claire (minutes recorder) provided revisions and clarifications that the committee accepted.

On appointments, the committee voted to approve Andrew’s membership as the advisory representative to the ad hoc Neary Elementary School Building Committee. The chair congratulated the appointee and noted the select board and school committee will also finalize other members.

Next steps: Committee members agreed to finalize edits to the advisory letter, prepare the packet for printing and reconvene after town meeting for follow‑up work on policies and budget planning.
