SPECIAL TOWN MEETING
RESULTS
AUGUST 30, 1988
I
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM by the Moderator, John
Salter, who declared a quorum present.
The call and return were read by the Town Clerk.
ARTICLE 1. The article was read by the Moderator, moved by Alan Adams
and seconded. Questions were asked of the Finance Committee. What
funds are available at this time? None. Where will the funds come
from? From the audit in mid to end of Sept. . Then why have a Town
Meeting before we know how much money is available? We had to act
within 30 days of the School Committee setting their budget. Will
these additional amounts cause an override? No. Will this article
have first option on any money available because it is presented
first? Unsure. Can we act on Article 2 first? Options-suspend, lay
on table, vote both down until we know how much money available. If we
vote yes on Article 2 and the money is not available are we still
bound to it? Yes.
Louise Healey explained the school point of view whereby, after
talking with Bruce Irving, they thought the money was available when
they requested the $25, 000.
Kriegle suggested a motion to amend the article to provide
proportional amounts to each article. Dr. Fogg stated that the school
amount is for their budget and can only be a yes or no on the full
amount.
Dr. Kohn explained what the school money was to go towards.
Bruce Irving spoke on a Point of Order. He stated that he called Kohn
after receiving a letter pertaining to EEO funds and only then did he
call the committee by request of Kohn.
The vote was called for on Article 1 as written and PASSED by a
majority voice vote.
I
ARTICLE 2. Read by the Moderator, moved and seconded. Questioned by
Gerry Reed of the school committee. If the money is not available can
the Reserve Fund be used? No.
Richard Walsh of the Finance Committee reminded the voters that if
these amounts passed and created an override, then the entire budget
would be void and we would have to start over.
Dr. Kohn said if it was voted down then they would have to do a new
budget requiring another vote and four positions would be lost.
A counted vote was requested. Gene Case and Dean Robertson counted.
YES 136 NO 43 The article PASSED by a majority.
ARTICLE 3. Read by the Moderator, moved and seconded. This article
came before town meeting in 1986 but was not discussed after Town
Council stated it was the Board of Health' s right to make changes not
town meeting' s. A judge ruled that it still must come up for
discussion with the legality determined later. It was noted that this
article is more restrictive than Title V. Richard Johnson explained
that the Board of Health has already discontinued fall perks. He also
explained how the perk time affects water quality. Joan Purinton, who
initiated this petition, stated that our perk time is higher than all
the surrounding towns. The Planning Board voiced their approval of
the article. Mr. Machiros said this change would have extreme bearing
on marginal land. A increase from 15 to 20 minutes was suggested but
not acted upon.
A -counted vote-was-taken:--YfS 142- NCr-25 -The ^articl-e- PASSED try- a---

The meeting was adjourned at 9:05.

on. They took into consideration established school policy, projected
enrolments, long range need and state resources. Right now state
aid would be 69% based on assessment but no aid for the wooden schools.
180 schools have applied for this money so the sooner we act the
better.
The moderator extended a grateful thank you to the committee for
their extensive work on this project and all applauded.
