Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Special Town Meeting to close out FY ’09 business
\nand the first night of the Annual Town Meeting were not without sparks, passion
\nand good solid debate.  After over an hour and a half of deliberation, Town
\nMeeting approved Article 18, step one of the Town Manager proposal.  Two
\nvigorous amendments were proposed by the Board of Public Works and then a
\nformer Selectman.  Both amendments failed.  The article passed in its
\nentirety as it is written in the warrant.  Step two of the Town Manager
\nproposal will be this Saturday, May 9th, with a vote on Question One. 
\nIf you are in favor of a Town Manager form of government, vote yes on Question
\nOne; if you are opposed, vote no on Question One.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In other business, the town approved the recommendation of
\nthe Advisory Committee of a FY 2010 budget of over $45 million.  I was
\nalso personally pleased to hear the report of the newly constituted Energy
\nAdvisory Committee.  It’s great to have fresh faces devote their
\ntime and energies to the betterment of our town.  Their involvement was a
\nsuitable book-end to the retirement of long-time Planning Board member Maryann
\nBrugnoli that was noted at the start of Town Meeting.  Congrats, Maryann; we
\nare ALL better for your devoted service and expert guidance over the past 24
\nyears.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We concluded the evening with the passing of Article 23, and
\nwill resume the Annual Town Meeting proceedings at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday night at
\nthe high school gymnasium.  See you then.<\/p>\n
