Fairgrounds bathrooms. At the board’s last meeting, Parks & Rec Director Sarah Rodriguez recapped the total funds earmarked for permanent bathrooms and storage at the Fairgrounds: some $168,000, she said. With a $239,000 quote in hand and a further $75,000 capital request in the pipeline this year, Rodriguez hoped to move forward on construction. Now it appears questions have arisen over the amount of funds set aside and capital review of the project.
Proposed May 5 Annual Town Meeting Warrant. The board will do its first review of the proposed May 5 town meeting warrant. The warrant includes budget items—some of which may be revised at the March 17 meeting—and an article about retaining the old ambulance as a back-up (pp.46-58).
Updated Fire Rescue Compensation Policy. The revised policy clarifies roles and terminology and updates payrates, among other changes. Read the policy at pp. 20-28 of the meeting agenda packet.
