Five things you should know about Town Meeting

This year’s annual Town Meeting begins on Monday, June 2, at Acton-Carlisle High School, 500 Walden Street. Here are five things you should know. 

• Bring your Town Meeting briefing book — either the hard copy you received in the mail or a downloaded copy from the town website, concordma.gov, on your smart device.
• The Meeting begins and ends earlier this year. It’s a 6:30 p.m. (sharp) start, with no new business after 9:30 p.m.
• There are two specially scheduled high-interest articles:
  • Article 34 (Stormwater Fund Expenditures) on Tuesday, June 3, at 6:45 p.m.
  • Article 46 (Citizen Petition: Zoning Bylaw Amendment: Continuing Care Retirement Community Overlay District) on Wednesday, June 4, at 6:45 p.m.
• Two other high-interest articles will be taken up in the order of the warrant:
  • Article 8 (Debt Exclusion for Road Maintenance), likely to be reached on Monday, June 2; and
  • Article 13 (Amenities Building for CCHS), likely to be reached Monday, June 2.
• Electronic Voting: We’ll be joining 70 or so other Massachusetts town meetings in using “clickers” to take votes.
