Moultonborough Town Meeting Mar. 17th - Pay Attention

jbolty · 03-12-2018, 11:05 AM

Sidewalk from where to where? the entire distance from the country store to Irving is already paved with a wide shoulder. I but you could count on one hand how many people walk that distance for any business reason aside from being out of gas. Is there a big demand for tourists to park at the country store then walk to irving and back to buy slim jims?

You bring up a excellent point. We have no idea how many people will be helped , need a six sigma type committee formed , all the stake holders , several meetings and hearings , traffic studied , a final report . I think we could do the review for just under $200 k ,
I cant make the meeting , could you suggest it for me.

Billy Bob, your post makes absolutely zero sense!

There are a number of important topics for this year’s town meeting, and I am counting on the voters to SHOW UP, join in the discussions and vote! Article 12, involving giving the BOS $250,000 to decide the disposition of the Taylor property (community center/gym) and $675,000 for sidewalks to nowhere. Vote NO on both articles! Don’t let a little snow keep you away! See you there!

Excellent turnout and lots of discussion across the warrant article. 410 people signed in at the meeting, which was a large turnout.

Article 3 - Pavillion and bathrooms @ Kraine Meadow Park ($125,070) - passed by show of hands, but funding source changed from taxation to available funds balance. DPW generator replacement ($42,000) passed as well but also change in funding from taxation to available funds.

Article 7 -Sidewalks in village area - $670,000 from taxes…….defeated on a secret ballot 122 Yes, 275 NO

Article 8 - Tractor snowblower for sidewalks - $85,000 from available funds…..tabled and not acted upon since sidewalk Article 7 failed.

Article 12 - Taylor property reuse study, etc. - $250,000 from available funds….defeated on a secret ballot 105 Yes, 250 NO

Article 13 - Conservation Land purchase (37 +/- acres)…funds reduced from $100,000 to $60,000 due to more donations received….Passed by show of hands. No tax impact as funding from available funds. Congratulations for a superb fund raising effort by Conservation Commission folks !

Article 15 - Recreation Dept. 25 passenger van - $12,648 from Rec. Revolving Fund….Passed by show of hands….no taxation impact as funds come from Recreation Revolving Fund. One year lease with escape clause if not funded by future town meetings.
