Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
As the Town Moderator suggested just now, and I agree, that was one of
\nthe best two-night Town Meetings we have had in years!
\nAt the beginning of this evening\u2019s meeting, I never would have
\nguessed that we would finish Town Meeting\u2019s business before 11:00
\np.m., much less this evening. But debate was healthy and helpful on
\nthe articles that needed it, and quick and easy on the articles that
\nmade sense.
\nA brief re-cap for those interested:
\n1) The deputy fire chief will remain under the provisions of Civil
\nService Laws and Rules
\n2) We did not accept the proposal to renovate and construct on 645
\nCenter Street
\n3) We voted to demolish Curtis School
\n4) Your fees for food permits, perc tests, disposal of construction
\ndemolition materials over 100 pounds, and electrical and plumbing work
\nall will go up as of July 1st
\n5) We named the new high school auditorium after Bob Nyman
\n6) We took step one toward bonding (for ten years) the expenditure of
\n$8.5 million dollars to improve our roads; step two will occur on
\nSaturday at the ballot box
\n7) And we decided to keep the Town Clerk an elected position (so the
\nquestion on the ballot on Saturday is moot).
\nA reminder that Election Day is Saturday, May 7th. The polls are open
\nfrom 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.<\/p>\n
