CapComm, Community Preservation Act items up for votes

March 20, 2018

Click the image above to see the full draft list of Community Preservation Act items plus explanations for each.

Here are the lists of items to be voted on in Saturday’s Town Meeting warrant article 8 (Capital Planning Committee or CapComm) and article 10 (Community Preservation Act or CPA). The capital items total $687,070, and there will be a separate vote in warrant article 9 on a debt exclusion appropriation of $600,000 for a new fire engine. 

The draft list of 16 CPA items total $978,805. With the addition of another $92,235 for affordable housing (by state law, 10 percent of a town’s CPA revenues must be set aside for this purpose), the total request comes to $1,071,040. 

(Note: Capital Planning items are listed in descending order of dollar amount, not as they appear on the Town Meeting warrant)
