Day 1 – Fall 2012 Town Meeting: Demolition appropriation approved; TM to continue 10/29
There was a presidential debate, a NL pennant game, and Monday Night Football but none proved to be an incentive to accelerate the pace of town meeting. It was after 9:00pm and the first article had not yet been put to bed. The article recommended that $198,278 of unrestricted general government aid be appropriated to the Reserve Fund. It is the anticipated use of the funds, demolition of the town owned portion of the Hendries building, as referenced in Article 4 that created the lengthy discussion.
