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