Town Meeting May 9, articles due March 1

Jan 13, 2016

Town Meeting is scheduled for May 9, but now is the time to work on agenda items.

Town Administrator Mike Gagne said a copy of Town Meeting articles should be submitted by March 1, as the process of reviewing and researching them takes time.

For those considering a resident-sponsored article, Gagne said he would be happy to answer questions and explain the process of submitting and reviewing articles. He asked that anyone who would like to speak with him make an appointment with his assistant, Melody Pacheco.

Because some articles require multiple departments to review them as well as the town’s lawyers, Selectmen suggested a strong cutoff date.

“Like everything, earlier is better,” said Gagne.
