Okay, this post is about one thing, a new loader for Templeton Highway dept. Since I do not believe anyone can say what the voters were thinking and since they were not asked to the best of my knowledge, I believe it is safe to say they said no. No where in this is there any mention of other votes or other subjects.


Annual Town Meeting, May 23, 2012:


Article 50.
To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate, transfer from available funds or otherwise provide the sum of Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) for the first year of a multiple year lease/purchase for a new front-end loader for the Highway Department, provided, however, that the appropriation hereunder shall be expressly contingent upon the approval by the voters of a Proposition 2 ½ , so called, Capital Expenditure Exclusion ballot question, pursuant to the provisions of G.L. c. 59 §21c(i1/2), or to take any other action relative thereto. Submitted by the Highway Superintendent and the Capital Planning Committee On a motion duly made and seconded the town voted to raise and appropriate the sum of Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) for the first year of a multiple year lease/purchase for a new front-end loader for the Highway Department, provided, however, that the appropriation hereunder shall be expressly contingent upon the approval by the voters of a Proposition 2 ½ so called, Capital Expenditure Exclusion ballot question, pursuant to the provisions of G.L. c.59 §21c(i1/2).
