Select Board signs corrected annual town meeting warrant after line-item and wording fixes
Summary
The board reviewed and corrected the annual town meeting warrant—fixing sample-ballot typos, article ranges, interest-rate language and transposed numbers—then voted to sign the warrant for distribution and floor use at the upcoming town meeting.
The Select Board examined the draft annual town meeting warrant line by line, correcting typographical errors, article ranges and several numeric transpositions before approving the document for signature.
Members noted a sample-ballot error that read "no Pittsburgh students" and confirmed it should read "send Pittsburgh students" (as flagged). Staff also explained a change to Article 14 to show a 7% interest rate on unpaid taxes and described adjustments to how some expenditures (for example, $3,000 tied to the shellfish warden) are reflected in salary pools.
After the corrections, Chair (Speaker 3) moved to sign the annual town meeting warrant with the corrections; the motion was seconded and the board voted to sign. The board asked staff to reprint corrected copies and to mark any adjusted totals with an asterisk for floor explanation at the town meeting.
