Summary

Council reviewed the March 11 deliberative-session warrant, assigned who will move and second key articles (land purchase, budget, transfers, union contracts, town-clerk charter amendments), discussed PowerPoint and talking-point preparation, and corrected article numbering where necessary.

During the Feb. 26 meeting the council reviewed the draft warrant for the March 11 deliberative session and assigned movers and seconders for many articles. Notable items include:

- Article 22: $500,000 for the clean-water/resolving fund to upgrade compost facilities (mover to be determined at meeting). - A $1.9 million bond article for a land purchase (mover/second assigned during the meeting). - Budget articles and transfers to capital reserves and wastewater items (individual councilors volunteered to move or second specific articles). - Union contract and town-clerk charter amendment series (several articles discussed; council noted an error in numbering that will be corrected on printed ballots).

Councilors discussed preparing PowerPoint slides and printed talking points for the land purchase and the budget article to present at the deliberative session and agreed to post updated blue books for councilors with any missing articles. The council also planned a taped budget presentation to run before deliberative session night.
