Excellent turnout and lots of discussion across the warrant article. 410 people signed in at the meeting, which was a large turnout.

Article 3 - Pavillion and bathrooms @ Kraine Meadow Park ($125,070) - passed by show of hands, but funding source changed from taxation to available funds balance. DPW generator replacement ($42,000) passed as well but also change in funding from taxation to available funds.

Article 8 - Tractor snowblower for sidewalks - $85,000 from available funds…..tabled and not acted upon since sidewalk Article 7 failed.
