* On March 17, 2014, the Board of Selectmen voted to accept the recommendation of the Selectmen’s Town Meeting Advisory Committee to use a consent agenda for routine warrant articles that pass every year without discussion. At Town Meeting a motion will be made to consider the block of articles in a consent agenda. If no objection is made, each item will be described before a vote is taken for the block. If there is objection, the article(s) in question will be removed from the Consent Agenda and voted on separately.
