Amended Town Meeting Warrant

On March 25, the Select Board approved an amended warrant for Blue Hill’s Annual Town Meeting. The warrant:

  1. Added an article (Article 65) that had been inadvertently omitted from the warrant relating to naming the AA Little League field the “The Steven P. Johnson Memorial Field.”
  2. Specified the amount requested by the Blue Hill Public Library in Article 25.
  3. Corrected a clerical error in the Select Board and Budget Committee recommendations in Article 37.

The amended warrant is available here.

PUBLIC HEARING: GSA & Warrant Review

Reminder: There will a public hearing to discuss the GSA Excess Tuition request on Thusday, March 26 in the Gordon Emerson Auditorium at the Blue Hill Town Hall. The hearing will begin at 6:00pm.

All items to be considered by a referendum vote (such as the GSA request) must be preceded by a public hearing to allow voters to debate the pros and cons of the question.

After the public hearing, the Select Board, School Committee/Superintendent, and Budget Committee will review a summary of the budget articles in this year’s warrant, together with the potential property tax implications of the Town’s voting. This is intended as an opportunity to better understand the budget and to prepare for Town Meeting.

For members of the public interested in reviewing more detailed budgets, the municipal budget is available here and the school budget is available here.
