from Templeton town website, under town meeting -documents relation to town meeting/voters guide.
Article 7, November, 2017 special town meeting.
Summary: It is feared that the boiler in the emergency management building in Baldwinville may fail during this coming winter. The director has been able to obtain about $5,500.00 in grants towards its replacement. We need approximately $7,500.00 more to have sufficient funds to cover the replacement. Our 1996 6-wheel dump truck has deteriorated to the point it is feared it may not make it through the winter season. There is a seven month lead time to get it. This will allow us to have the new truck in place by next spring and - hopefully - before this one fails. The $160,000.00 will be supplemented with the monies we originally planned to use to buy a new dump body for it to complete the purchase.
Motion from special town meeting:
On a motion duly made and seconded the town voted to appropriate the sum of One Hundred Sixty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars and No Cents ($167,500.00) for a program of
capital expenditures as generally identified below:
Dept. Item Amount
DPW – B&G Boiler Replacement $7,500
DPW- Highway 6 Wheel Dump Truck $160,000
And to meet said appropriation by a transfer of said sum from free cash in the treasury of the town.
Passed Unanimously/November 14th @ 8:13 pm
no mention of a transfer or anything about money previously appropriated to buy a dump body for a 6-wheeler dump truck.
