The primary concern was the capacity limits of the current town meeting location, which can accommodate 500 people, including overflow. The board explored alternative venues, such as the Silver Lake High School auditorium, which holds up to 750 attendees, and discussed potential dates if the meeting needs to be rescheduled. The discussion also covered procedural aspects, such as how to handle overflow and the logistics of moving to a larger venue if necessary. The goal is to ensure all interested residents have the opportunity to participate, without exceeding safety limits.

The board also addressed two articles scheduled for discussion at the town meeting. One article requires Halifax to vote on establishing an overlay district as part of MBTA community requirements. It was clarified that Halifax is not considered an MBTA community but must comply with regulations that demand the creation of a multi-unit district. The board emphasized that it is up to the town to decide on the proposal, and no stance has been formally taken by the board.

Another topic was a last-minute petition article regarding environmental regulations, specifically concerning a body of water classified as a great pond, which requires state approval for any regulatory changes. The board expressed concerns about enforcement and recommended possibly revisiting the article at a later date, potentially in May, due to unresolved questions and a lack of examination.

Finally, procedural matters were discussed, such as managing voting in multiple rooms if the meeting is moved to a larger venue. The board deliberated on using counters to ensure accurate vote counts across different spaces and the protocol for allowing non-residents to speak during the meeting, insisting that any outside speaker would require a majority vote to be allowed to address the assembly.
