Reading Finance Committee Sets Agenda for Special Town Meeting on School Building Project
- Meeting Overview:
The Reading Finance Committee convened to finalize the financial warrant articles for a special town meeting scheduled for May 1st, focusing on the Kilum School Building Project. The meeting, conducted in a hybrid format, included approving the substance of the articles and organizing presenters for the upcoming session.
The committee’s primary focus was to approve the substance of Article 2, which pertains to the Kilum School Building Project. The article received unanimous support from the committee members present. This move is essential to advance the Kilum project and aligns with the town’s planning for the May 13th election.
In addition to the Kilum School Building Project, the committee acted on Article 3, which involves retail considerations. This article also garnered unanimous approval from the committee.
A procedural hiccup occurred when the committee initially attempted to adjourn without appointing speakers for the articles at the town meeting. After realizing the oversight, the committee quickly rectified the situation by assigning members to present the articles. The role of presenting Article 2 on the Kilum project will fall to a committee member, with another ready to act as a backup.
