What this means

The Board supported sending the capital projects to Town Meeting, with the training green item passing 3-1 and the police parking lot and downtown resiliency items passing 4-0. The Board also declined to adopt the Advisory and Finance Committee’s additional $213,000 IT funding recommendation, returning Article 7 to the Board’s original position. Separately, the Board approved several liquor and amplified music permits and decided which tax-possession properties should be auctioned or retained for municipal, open-space, drainage, park, or aquifer-protection purposes.
