What this means

The police labor agreement was approved, but the minutes do not provide its terms. Reviews of the 300-unit proposal will cover bylaws, traffic, and civil/stormwater issues, while the well work will address two municipal water facilities. The Board also finalized the March 28 Annual Town Meeting warrant and placed the one-year Select Board vacancy created by John Cunningham’s resignation on the May 5 town election ballot.
