Updates on Motions with financial implications for the 2022 Annual Town Meeting (ATM) Mr. Michelson reported on 2022 ATM Article 25: Appropriate for Worthen Road Recreation and Education District Land Use Concept Plan (Citizen's Article). The proponents have asked that this article be removed from the Consent Agenda. The purpose for this request is not yet known. It may be because they are interested in requesting funds, or, perhaps more likely, they want to be able to give a report without requesting funds. Mr. Parker reported on 2022 ATM Article 12: Appropriate for Municipal Capital Projects and Equipment; (a) Hartwell District Signage. A town meeting member has proposed that he will move to amend the motion for this article so that, among other changes, there is no reference to a Hartwell Innovation Park because that name has not been officially adopted by the Town. It was noted that signage for accessing Hartwell Avenue is needed to address safety issues. Minutes of Prior Meetings A motion was made and seconded to accept the March 23, 2022 AC Minutes.
