Attend Town Meeting
Registered Millis voters can vote on the proposals. Registration for this meeting closed Oct. 24. The meeting begins Nov. 9 at 7:30 p.m. at 245 Plain Street.
Article 4 would buy 150,000 gallons a day of capacity at the Charles River Pollution Control District. The proposal requires a two-thirds vote and leaves the financing method, including borrowing, to be determined at the meeting.
Article 5 seeks $165,000 from the water system’s retained earnings for an inventory of lead service lines. It would fund the inventory, not pipe replacement.
A separate citizen petition, Article 10, would permanently protect the remaining town-owned Cassidy Field and Farm parcel on Exchange Street for open space, passive recreation and natural-resource conservation. The petition identifies the land as Map 11, Parcel 11-026-001 and requires a two-thirds vote.
The warrant also proposes canceling $2,134,180 in authorized but unissued borrowing for the Clyde F. Brown Elementary School project. Article 7 says that borrowing authority is no longer needed to complete the project.
