This vote supports bringing additional borrowing for the Public Safety Building to Town Meeting, but it does not itself authorize the borrowing. The Board said the Town has already committed $27 million to the project and that further delay could increase costs and require continued investment in existing facilities. The Board also recommended wastewater system improvements by a 4-1 vote and opposed removing resident beach fees by a 3-2 vote.
