What this means

The committee authorized up to $40,000 for a book about Concord250 events, but the allocation still requires Town House approval. Members will compare the cost of ordering 500 versus 1,000 copies before deciding the print quantity. Proposals for a $300 reprint of the Call to Poets booklet and $5,385 toward outdoor musical performances were postponed until the next meeting because they were not listed on the agenda.
