Why shouldn't that be the question?

Repeat ... that is not the question. It may become the question, and has been anticipated. However, it is doubtful it would pass. Sell it and then what? Go back to trying peddle the Tah Majal.

If it is, fix it up and move forward.

Precisely! Got to get there first. Someone can put their petition to sell it, and it will probably get put on the warrant. Just get 50 voters to sign a petition and democracy work.
Was waiting for someone to bring expense of a meeting. Expense compared to what. A $495,000 property and a $275,000 property that can be put to greater use! Define expense!
These Articles, if passed, would move forward ... away from the Tah Majal and to rehabilitating a Community Center already paid for.
How many fools are there in Town. No scarcity, probably!

The special vote is only to see if the town will form a committee for both locations, correct? So if they pass the committee forms and comes up with a proposal that would then have a funding request attached. That request would then be voted on at town meeting?

Almost correct ... no funding request.
NH law prevents bringing up funding, appropriations, budgets etc. without Superior Court approval. That would be done later, not at this meeting. It would come up as a BoS warrant article when there was agreement on what/how to "fix" the Lion's Club. A Green Town Park/Common could be an attraction for MoBo and attract business into the village. Better than looking like driving through Appalachia! No offense to Appalachia.
All this petition does, is set up a committee, appointed by the new town moderator (keeps out the hacks that have been pushing their agenda) and could include snowbirds who haven't been heard; enough members to argue about everything; come up with a proposal for the annual town meeting, where it can be "tweeked" again with possible corrections. It gives plenty of time so that the "democratic process is not taken away".
PS:
Breakfast at George's in Meredith was fine, and the summer crowd already visiting, was evident.
PPS: No Superior Court approval is needed for the Annual Town Meeting; only if a Special Town Meeting is called.
