Tips and reminders for Town Meeting on Saturday

March 24, 2022

Check-in begins at 8 a.m. on Saturday, March 26 for Annual Town Meeting, which kicks off at 9:30 a.m. Some notes and reminders from the Lincoln Public Health Team:

  • Although the location of the auditorium has not changed, the school renovation has reconfigured the entrance. Click here for a map of the new entryway.
  • The new school spaces will be open for viewing before the start of the meeting.
  • Officials strongly encourage residents to test themselves for Covid-19 before and after the meeting to reduce any chance of transmission. The town has free at-home test kits available to all residents that can be picked up at the Select Board’s Office, the Council on Aging & Human Services, and the Public Safety dispatch window.
  • The Board of Health has lifted the indoor mask mandate but continues to encourage individuals who are at increased risk of severe Covid-19 disease because of age or medical conditions, or who have a household member at such increased risk, to wear masks when indoors. All members of the community are encouraged to wear masks based on their personal comfort level.
  • Masked individuals can choose to sit anywhere they like, but there will be a section of seating in the auditorium that will only be for people wearing masks. This location will be closest to the entry doorway and will be marked A map of the room can be viewed here.
  • Attendees are asked to leave two empty seats between parties while inside the auditorium. Please work with others in your row to maximize safe seating opportunities.
  • The meeting will be broadcast live to the Reed Gymnasium for those who would like greater social distancing. Those in the gym will be able to view, listen and vote, but they will not be able to make comments. To comment, they will need to come to a microphone location in the auditorium.
  • Officials are making full use of the “consent calendar” to expedite the voting process and have posted all presentations and meeting materials in advance on the Town Meeting webpage. Presentations on Saturday will be brief to allow the meeting to focus on discussion and help reduce the overall length of the day.  
  • For those unable to attend the meeting in person, there will be a live feed through cable TV (Verizon Channel 33, Comcast Channel 8) and on the Town Meeting webpage.
