May 5, 2007 Annual Town Meeting

Town Clerk, Diane Crory, called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. Ms. Crory announced that due to the passing of Charles F. Kaye the position of Town Moderator was vacant. Charles Ellis moved that Timothy Goddard be elected as Temporary Town Moderator to serve until this annual town meeting is dissolved. The motion was seconded by Michael Knupp and unanimously voted by the casting of a ballot by a resident of the town. The Town Clerk swore in Mr. Goddard to serve as Moderator until the Annual Town Meeting is dissolved.

Moderator Goddard explained the Consent Calendar procedure to those voters attending the meeting. There was a motion taken that articles that were considered “routing, predictable and non-controversial” would fall under the consent calendar and any that voters had a question on would have a hold placed on and an attempt to give an appropriate answer to any question would be given. If however there is need for a discussion on any stated article that a hold was placed then that article would be removed from the Consent Calendar. The following articles were presented on the Consent Calendar: Articles 1, 3, 5, 6, 26, 27, 29, 30, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, and 39. All were unanimously voted and passed. The actual articles and votes remain part of the verification of motions and are listed in their proper order:
