A PPROPRIATION C OMMITTEE S PECIAL T OWN M EETINGS 2017-2 & 3 O CTOBER 10, 2017 <br /> <br />Preface <br />The Appropriation Committee is appointed by the Town Moderator and serves as an advisory group to the <br />elected members of Town Meeting. The Committee is required by Town by-law to present its recommen- <br />dations to Town Meeting prior to any vote with a financial impact on the Town. This report summarizes <br />warrant articles that we deem to have financial <br />significance, along with the vote of the Committee for each article. The Committee also gives oral reports <br />and responds to questions during Town Meeting as necessary, or when important information has become <br />available following the publication of a report. <br />This report is distributed to the members of Town Meeting as a printed document and as an electronic <br />document via the Town website. It is being published on October 10, 2017, so that it will be available at <br />the Town Meeting Members Association information meeting scheduled for that evening, and approxi- <br />mately a week prior to the commencement of Special Town Meetings 2 and 3 on October 16, 2017. <br />Acknowledgements <br />The content of this report, except where otherwise noted, was researched, written and edited by members <br />of the Committee who volunteer their time and expertise, with the support of Town staff.
