2025 Templeton special town meeting, article 2, asks town meeting to amend their vote of May 16, 2006 regarding open space committee. That vote created an open space committee of from 5 to 9 members with all votes shall be considered passed and valid provided at least 3 members of the committee are present and a simple majority is attained. How can 3 votes be a majority (quorum) if there are 7, 8 or 9 members? That does not work, even with Templeton math. Also, it is harder and harder to get members on these various committees, so town meeting will be asked to amend that vote to set the open space committee at 5 members and the committee members will be appointed in June and change Board of Selectmen to Select Board.

That is all that article is about. I believe there are 3 people waiting to serve on this committee.

2025 November 12, Templeton special town meeting, articles 3, 4, 5, and 6 ask town meeting to expend CPA money on 4 various projects.

Article 7 asks town meeting to approve a debt exclusion for the towns share of expense of roof work on NRSD high school, a building Templeton voted to expend money to build back in the 1990's

Article 8 asks town meeting to approve using money from TCTV retained earnings fund to their fiscal year 2026 budget. Retained earnings are an enterprise funds money equivalent to town free cash. This is another move to try and keep tctv afloat while the budget, funding and charge of this town entity results in a decision on it's true mission and as a service to town residents. To date, many proposals and plans have been presented to the select board and town, but none so far have brought about any real financial impact, as in bringing more funding to the town to keep this entity running. Just like a town, a dept. cannot keep spending onetime funds for reoccurring expenses.
