Article of note: One article on the town warrant asks whether voters support a $1.05 million plan to build a new town office building. Another town article would allow the Selectboard to appoint a road agent for a term of three years, rather than having the town elect one. Another town article would set the town clerk’s pay at $23 per hour. Another article asks whether voters will give the Selectboard authority to establish the opening and closing hours and dates of the Bean Brook Pool on an annual basis.
