The Select Board, School Committee, and Finance Committee will meet jointly tonight at 6PM in Room 304 of town hall. One topic of discussion is sure to be funding of various capital projects. Mr. Lynam of the Finance Committee has this spreadsheet (MS Excel format) that shows the capital requests from the spring Town Meeting and those being currently proposed.
I have a list from Mr. Iacaponi that shows an additional $200K request for computers and technology from the school department which I don't see in Mr. Lynam's spreadsheet.
The $11 million total at the bottom may shock some people so I want to point out that $9.5 million is for wind turbines. Not all that bonding authority would be needed ...
... if state and federal grants are obtained. The grants are available and it is almost certain that we would qualify.
Other items up for discussion will be the amount set aside for the Stabilization fund, an amount to be reserved in the event of state aid reductions, and how to handle additional revenue from meals and hotel taxes.

Who made the decision not to allow the President's speech to be in the classroom yesterday?
Ray, who care's?
I hope the money for books and technology will pass. They both are much needed. That along with the no fee for buses will finally be helping the students and families in our town. Finally a light at the end of the tunnel.
Dartmouth didnt let our kids listen to the President? What a disgrace, it's not like he was trying to indoctrinate our kids with a religion. That is SAD
I care,I think the kids in our schools should listen to the President when he is addressing them. How many videos do they watch throughout the school year,and they couldn't watch the president of our country for 45 minutes? Regan,H.W Bush and W Bush all addressed schools, what is the logic behind making such a big deal about President Obama's address.
is there money on that list for Tazers for OUR police?
Great question Anon. 6:20. Tazers should be top priority on the DPD. Perhaps that would prevent another incident like what happened on Milton St. I think the police officers did the right thing however, with tazers the outcome could have been different. Bill, please bring this to the police cheif's attention.
