The Putney Selectboard reviewed legal counsel's notes on the 2026 Annual Meeting warning and adopted the document as printed with one addition. Aileen Tulloch read the counsel's review aloud and moved to adopt the warning; Rebecca "Bex" Slattery seconded and the motion passed.
Board discussion clarified that items requiring Australian Ballot must be warned and voted upon at Town Meeting and that nonbinding advisory questions would be moved to the end of the warning.
