[Adding the Selects directly to see if they would consider] Why not?
The articles as presented in the Warrant are actually not the vote. Article 1 (correct clerical error) and Article 3 (Oriole Landing) are 'To see if the Town will vote...' whereas Article 2 (CC) and Article 4 (HCA) are 'To hear a report from...' and 'To see if the Town will vote to hear a report from...' The vote today for both of these items is not actually an 'official' vote in that we're not discussing budgetary items or making a zoning change. Both of these articles are reports. The "vote" is structured as a sense of what the Town wants to do. In that case, it's really just a complicated way to get feedback from the town (and not binding) and if I'm reading that correctly, that wouldn't follow under the same voting rules as a typical Town Meeting since the vote is NOT the article in question. Given that, it also seems like we could have done this as a register at Town Hall and pick up/fill out a ballot situation early if we wanted to. Granted, this would not allow voting in subsequent rounds, but I think people would be happy to just have their voices heard in the first round if they could not stay the whole time. I would appreciate it if the Selects / Moderator would confer with Town Council. - Andy On Sat, Dec 2, 2023 at 7:46 AM ٍSarah Postlethwait <sa...@bayhas.com> wrote: > The way town meeting is now, you have to be present in the room during the > voting to be able to cast your ballot.
