In attendance will be the Board of Selectmen, department heads, boards and committee members who have proposed the warrant articles. During the session, they will present additional information about their proposed warrant articles and be able to answer any community members’ questions.
Presentations will also be accompanied by any recommendations that have been made thus far by the Board of Selectmen and Finance Committee on their respective articles.

We hope to see everyone take advantage of this opportunity to familiarize themselves with the proposed warrant articles and hear from the different boards, committees and department heads in attendance.”
Included in the proposed warrant articles is an article for funding to pay for the debt service on the new police department building to reduce the tax rate, as well as proposals for a number of capital investments, proposed bylaws, street acceptances and a number of other matters.
