Select Board finalizes warnings and logistics for March town meeting; warns of slight tax increase
Summary
Board approved and signed the official warning for the March 4 town meeting, confirmed inclusion of the highway budget and a speed-cart article, and noted the warning implies roughly a 3% town tax increase.
At the meeting the board finalized text and signed the official warning for the March 4 town meeting. Committee member (S2) walked members through the warning text and asked members to sign: “This is the official warning for town hall. The numbers are in there.”
Members confirmed the warning includes the highway budget and the newly added speed-cart article so voters can decide. S2 said the numbers in the draft warning translate to roughly a 3% town tax increase; members compared that to last year's larger increases. The board signed the warning and prepared the notice for publication and distribution ahead of town meeting.
Next procedural steps: warning publication and logistics for the March meeting (setup time, poll closing rules, and post-approval petition-to-reconsider windows) were restated so staff and volunteers can prepare.
