Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Special Town Meeting ended Monday night just before 9:00 p.m., but not
before approving all four Warrant Articles as recommended by the Advisory
Committee.
As expected, there was quite a spirited debate about the merits of funding
our beloved Transfer Station via an enterprise fund. A substitute motion
was initially offered to the meeting that would have directed future
sticker fees to the General Fund. In the end, the Town voted to create the
Enterprise Fund, thereby freeing up about $1.6 million dollars in next
year’s budget, which will help us to fund the anticipated deficits this
spring. The Select Board will soon be reviewing how to fund the Transfer
Station in the future – either via sticker fees, pay-as-you-throw bag
costs, or a combination of the two.
We also approved a revised regional agreement for the South Shore
Vocational Technical School District, allocated $60K of CPA funds for the
re-design of B. Everett Hall Playground and fields, and authorized
borrowing money to purchase a new fire truck.
Onward!
For “Around Town on the Web”,
Cathy H-B
