Dear fellow Hanoverians:
For the first time in quite some time, Annual Town Meeting ended in one
night this year.
Highlights of the night included the approval of our $57,633,712 budget,
the creation of a committee to study and report on the “multi-use
recreational facility” (the former “Build-a-Boards”), and the failure of
the motion to legally tie the town to paint the Town Hall white in
perpetuity. The color of Town Hall will instead be decided on the ballot
on Election Day.
Usually this late-night post-Town-Meeting first-night-update includes the
date and time of our next session, but surprisingly, that date is Election
Day, Saturday, May 6th, from 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Instead, I will mention the complete success of the electronic Poll Pad use
at check-in for Town Meeting! Let’s hope that the legislative process
provides funding so that we can use them again next year.
If you have further questions about the results of the Town’s decisions
this evening, feel free to contact me, Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier,
at 781-826-5000 x1079 or catherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov . In the
meantime, congratulations to all involved in this year’s meeting! It’s a
wrap!
