Please bring it with you. TOWN MEETIN~ Rules of Parliamentary procedure (Simplified form) A Glossary of Terms.:. Town Meeting -- A duly-called meeting in which all registered voters are eligible to participate. It is the Town's legislature, where fiscal issues, zoning changes, by-law amendments, and other matters affecting the town are decided. Each voter has one vote in the decision making process. A regular (annual) meeting is held each May, to decide issues for the fiscal year starting in July. A (special) town meeting may be called at other times, to deal with issues that can not wait for the next annual meeting; a special town meeting is called by the selectmen; a petition of two hundred (200) voters will cause one to be called. Warrant -- Article -- Main Motion -- Public notice of business to be considered at Town Meeting. It is publicly posted throughout the town, sets a time and plage for the meeting, and contains one or more articles. The warrant is opened by the selectmen for article submission prior to the meeting, and closed well in advance of the meeting. Definition of an issue to be decided at the meeting. Individual matters are described in articles so that all voters are warned of potential action to be taken. The scope of each article sets the bounds of actions that may be taken. Articles are submitted by town agencies, or citizen petitions of ten (10) at annual meetings, or one hundred (100) at special meetings. Required under the article (and within its scope) for the meeting to act. It may be as simple as "To adopt the article, as printed in the warrant" or a more complex action, as long as long as the article's scope is not exceeded. A main motion should be made and seconded for discussion to proceed; a favorable recommendation from the ~dvisor~ Board will be taken as a main motion, made and seconded. Whenever possible, affirmative (rather than negative) main motions are preferred to avoid confusion. Amendments -- Voting -- Reconsideration -- Adjournment -- Dissolution -- May be offered to a main motion, debated and accepted or rejected. Complex amendments should be submitted to the Moderator in writing. Individual amendments will be considered in turn; amendments to amendments are discouraged. The resultant (possibly amended) main motion will ultimately be voted upon. Is done by voice ("Aye" or "No"), a show of hands, or standing in place. The moderator will call for a vote, and announce the results. For other than a counted vote, seven (7) voters may doubt the announced vote by rising and standing in place; such doubt will cause a counted vote to be taken. Most issues will be decided by a simple majority of those Voting; issues requiring a two-thirds (2/3), four-fifths (4/5) or other majority will be clearly identified to the meeting. Of action taken under an article may be proposed only once. The option is useful when inter-dependent decisions are to be made under separate articles; it is dangerous when introduced after a hard-fought decision has been made, and there has been a change in the audience. Introducing a motion to reconsider immediately after a hard-fought decision, with the expectation of its defeat, will effectively lock out future reconsideration. To another date and place certain may be proposed and voted to recess the meeting to a future session. Is the final act of a meeting. Ail issues will have concluded, and future discussion will require another warrant for another meeting. The Players: The following have legal obligations to Town Meeting Voters -- The ultimate decision makers. Voted decisions are binding on the entire town, including its elected officials. Moderator -- Elected, responsible for the conduct of the meeting. Parliamentary rulings, conducting of the debate and voting are vested solely in the Moderator. Selectmen -- Elected, responsible for calling the meeting and ordering the warrant. This executive board is often authorized by the meeting to act in the Town's behalf between town meetings. Advisory Board -- (sometimes called the Finance Committee) Appointed by the Moderator, responsible for recommending on financial and often other articles. This cross-section of citizens has the opportunity to investigate articles proposed to the meeting, and make independent recommendations. Planning Board -- Appointed by the Town Manager, responsible for administering the Town's Zoning By-law. This board is required to hold hearings and make recommendations on articles which affect zoning or environmental issues. Town Clerk -- Appointed by the Town Manager, responsible for physical arrangements of the meeting, and for recording the minutes of actions taken. Town Counsel -- The Town's Attorney, appointed by the Selectmen. Counsel will make legal rulings, and advise the meeting, as needed. Other Players: The following participants have strong interest in assuring the meeting's success. They will propose issues and supply information to the voters. School Committee, Town Manager, Superintendent of Schools, Town Accountant, Department Heads, and Town Committees. Supportinq Cast: The following staff supply the necessary support to conduct a meeting of this size: Registrars of Voters, Voter Check-in clerks, Counters, Public Safety officer and Facilities Manager of the building used. Courtesy issues:.. * Please introduce yourself, using name and street address the first time that you speak at any session of Town Meeting. * If acting as attorney or paid agent for another, disclose this fact at the start of any remarks. Address the meeting with new information, to persuade undecided voters. Re-iterating old information as a show of support takes time, and does little to affect the outcome of a vote. Please refrain from applause or negative jeers during discussion. Brevity in remarks shows respect for the value of your neighbor's time. The most persuasive statements at Town Meeting are often the most succinctly stated, retaining the audience's full attention. Participation at Town Meeting is an American tradition, one which differentiates New England towns from other regions and from larger cities. Decisions made by these meetings are somehow more satisfying than those delegated to elected boards or paid staff. Help maintain this tradition by joining with neighbors to discuss the issues. We will respect the value of your time and participation. Charles A. Salisbury Town Moderator 1424 Salem Street North Andover, MA 01845 (508) 685-1568 Town By-laws affecting Town Meeting 59-1.

Over the past few years as revenue increases fell below the level needed to cover increasing cost, North Andover was able to maintain essential services and avoid layoffs by squeezing expense budgets, postponing equipment replacement, deferring maintenance, not funding road repairs and exhausting all financial reserves. We have reached the end of our collective ropes. If we are going to maintain any reasonable level and quality of public services, North Andover must control wages and benefits Costs, set priorities (including maintenance work) and determine how to achieve additional revenue to fund basic services. Revenues are decreasing while costs are increasing, The projected FY 92 revenue is expected to be less than the previous year. General local revenues, which have been increasing for years, are predicted to drop. New growth revenues are minimal and State Aid is projected to drop from previous levels. For the first time, North Andover has fewer dollars available to spend next year compared to this year. As we recognize.the reality of decreasing revenue, we must face increasing costs in virtually every area. Present inflationary increases are driving up the cost of electricity, fuel, supplies, wages and particularly, employees benefits including health insurance. Signed union contracts provide for agreed upon increases. Obviously with fewer dollars available, a decrease in services through layoffs will be required to make ends meet. We have choices. The operating budget presented in Article 7 is based on present revenue projections and requires cuts in many budget line items of 10% or more. The "base budget" will require many layoffs and cuts in services which you may find to be unacceptable. The Advisory Board does not believe this budget adequately funds any sector of the public service. The cuts in staffing and maintenance will be devastating to our school systems, our police and fire departments - every service we depend on today. To have a balanced operating budget, this article must be passed. 6 Report to the Citizens -2- May 6, 1991 As in previous years, the Advisory Board conducted hearings with each department head, the School Superintendent and the Town Manager. We must empathize with all of them as their requests and arguments for funding are sound. Given our best efforts to find logical areas to cut, there are very, very few. There is no fat. Article $ included additiOnal amounts for the FY 92 budget which maintains level funding for the operating departments. However, because of increasing costs, this still means significant cuts in expenses and reduction of services through layoffs. Article 9 includes additional amounts for the FY 92 budget which maintains the level of services provided in the previous year. We believe that this is the level of service which the citizens of North Andover require and deserve. The Advisory Board strongly recommends that you vote in favor of Article 8 and Article 9 to maintain the minimum level of public service on which we all now depend. The Advisory Board believes that in these times of severe financial constraints, there are opportunities for cost efficiencies which Town management should pursue more actively. These include, common public safety dispatching, privatisation of Town services, common Town-wide maintenance programs, and accelerated water/sewer revenue collection. During FY 92, these and other areas need seriously to be addressed in order to optimize the limited resources at hand. This Town Meeting will lay the groundwork for the basis on which North Andover will be managed over the next few years. As we struggle to come to grips with the new revenue realities, the decisions made on the floor of Town Meeting this year will guide all of us. The Advisory Board urges all citizens to turn out and make their positions known.

Board of Selectmen Board of Selectmen Recommendation: To be made at TOwn Meeting. Advisory Board Recommendation: To be made at Town Meeting. Projected Tax Impact In discussion on Article 8, 9, 13 and 14, reference will be made to the property tax impact. In determining this impact,'we are using the following method: the property tax base used as part of the revenue to fund Article 7 is $19.9 million. Therefore, for calculations, we are using a base of $20 million. Assume an article calling for an additional $1 million tax override. This repre- sents a 5% increase in the total property tax, which means that if your property tax bill, prior to any additional action, were $1,000, then this $1 million article would add $50 to your annual property taxes. ARTICLE ?. ~ APPROPRIATION ARTI~ FOR FISCAL ~ 1992. To see what action the Town will take as to the budget recommendations of the Board of Selectmen for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1991, and ending June 30, 1992~ or to take any other action relative thereto.

To see if the Town will vote to replace Section 4.135 of the Zoning Bylaw with the following revision: 4.135 WATERSHED PROTECTION DISTRICT 1. PurPose The Watershed Protection District surrounding Lake Cochichewick, the Town's sole source of public drinking water supply, is intended to preserve and maintain the filtration and purification function of the land, the purity of the groundwater and the lake, to conserve the natural environment and to protect the public health, safety and welfare. The Lake Cochichewick Watershed Plan (August 1987), prepared by IEP Inc. for the Town of North Andover, is a comprehensive study of the lake and its watershed. The Watershed Protection District is a portion of the IEP study's recommended management plan. Copies of the Watershed Plan are available in the Office of Planning and Community Development. The Watershed Protection District is herein established as an overlay district and shall be superimposed on the other districts established by this Bylaw. The requirements enumerated hereafter for this Watershed Protection District shall be in addition to, rather than in place of, the requirements of such other districts. The Special Permit Granting Authority (SPGA) under this Bylaw shall be the Planning Board. 2. Boundaries a. District Boundaries Boundaries of the Watershed Protection District are shown on Attachment 1, entitled Subdrainage Areas (dated August 1985) and contained in the Watershed Plan. This map is hereby made a part of this Bylaw and is on file in the office of the Town Clerk. The Zoning Map's Lake Cochichewick Watershed boundary shall conform with the aforementioned IEP map. In the event that the SPGA determines, on the basis of credible evidence before it, that there exists a significant doubt or dispute concerning the proper location of boundaries of the Watershed Protection District on any individual lot or lots, the SPGA shall, at the request of the owner of such lot or lots, engage a Registered Professional Engineer to advise it in determining such boundaries. The owner making such request shall reimburse the SPGA for the cost of such Engineer. Upon completion of the Engineer's report to the SPGA, the SPGA shall hold a hearing to make a final determination of such boundaries. At such hearing, such report shall be deemed evidence sufficient to establish the location of the boundary. When the Watershed Protection District boundary divides a lot of record on June 28, 1978, in one ownership, the intent of the zoning regulation set forth in this zoning Bylaw applying to the greater part by area of such lot so divided shall be deemed to apply and govern at and beyond such Watershed Protection District boundary, but only to the extent not more than one hundred (100) linear feet in depth (at a right angle to such boundary) into the lesser part by area of such lot so divided, provided, however, that where the premises are partially outside of the Watershed Protection District, potential pollution sources such as on-site waste disposal systems, shall be located outside of the District to the extent feasible. b. Buffer Zones There shall exist a Non-Disturbance buffer zone which shall consist of all land areas located within two hundred fifty (250) feet horizontally from the annual mean high water mark of Lake Cochichewick or within one hundred (100) feet horizontally from the edge of all wetland resource areas (as defined in M.G.L.

In all districts except Village Commercial, front setbacks along Route 114 shall be a minimum of 100'. Front setbacks shall be 100' along Route 125 in industrial 1 and 2 districts; the first 50' of front setbacks under this requirement shall be made to provide an effective visual buffer and no parking shall be permitted. FOOTNOTE 17. SHALL BE ADDED TO TABr.~. 2. 17. VILLAGE COMMERCIAL DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS. SETBACKS Objective: The setbacks have been determined and arranged in such a way as to promote a quality development which lends itself to the surrounding community in an unobstructive manner. Recommended guideline: Front setbacks for structures along Route 114 shall be a minimum of 50', all of which shall be used as an effective visual buffer. No parking shall be allowed within that 50' buffer. Any roadways or drives within that 50' buffer shall be as necessary for access only. Side and rear setbacks shall be a minimum of 25' with the first 10' remaining as an effective visual buffer. When adjacent to residential districts the minimum setback shall be 40' with the first 25' remaining as a buffer. The Planning Board may allow the minimum setback adjacent to a residential district to be reduced to 25' provided that the maximum height of the proposed structure be 25' not to exceed one story. Further, for every 1' that the structure is moved closer to the residential property line the maximum allowed height of the structure shall be reduced by 1'. (Diagram 1) No parking shall be allowed within the side or rear setback. Any roadways or drives within those setbacks shall be as necessary for access only. Diagram 1.

To see if the Town will vote to add to Section 8.4 of the Zoning Bylaw, Screening and Landscaping Requirements for Off-Street Commercial and Industrial Districts, Paragraph 6, to read as follows: Petition of the Planning Board Explanation: To place changes to the Village Commercial Dimensional Requirements in the proper Section of the Zoning Bylaw. SECTION 8.4 SF~T~. BE AMENDED AS FOLLOWS: PARAGRAPH 6. SH~T~. BE ADDED TO SECTION 8.4 AND READS AS FOLLOWS: 6. VIT~GE COMMERCIAL DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS. In the ¥illage Commercial Zoning District the following requirements shall be adhered to. The following requirements are only to be placed upon the Village Commercial Zoning District and shall take the place of the preceding regulations found in paragraphs 1-5. SCREENING ObjectiYe: Due to the high aesthetic standards to which the Architecture shall be made to conform, the main purpose of the screening shall be to screen the parking and other accessory structures which may be a part of the development. The Planning Board may require any additional screening as may be reasonably required. Recommended guidelines: Ail buffer zones must be designed by a registered Landscape Architect, or other professional as approved by the Planning Board. The Planning Board recommends that materials to be used in the buffer include but not be limited to the following material: Natural/existing vegetation, natural topography, berms, stone walls, fences, deciduous and coniferous shrubs/trees, perenials, annuals, pedestrial scale walkways, gazebos and other landscape material as it addresses the aesthetic quality of the site. The final approval of all material used within the buffer zone shall be at the discretion of the Planning Board. Parking Lots containing 10 or more spaces shall be required to provide one tree for every five spaces. All trees shall be a deciduous mix of at least 2.5 inch caliper when planted. Native trees and shrubs shall be planted wherever possible, in order to capture the "spirit of the locale" through indigenous species (such as lilac, viburnum, day lilies, ferns, red twig dogwood, oak, maple, sycamore, linden, hawthorne, birch, shadbush, etc.) In instances where healthy plant material exists on a site prior to its development, in part or in whole, for purpose of off street parking or other vehicular use areas, the Planning Board may adjust the application of the above mentioned standards to allow credit for such plant material if, in its opinion, such an adjustment is in keeping with and will preserve the intent of these standards. As each site is different it is difficult to provide strict guidelines and regulations as to the amount of screening to be appropriate for any given site. With this in mind, the Planning board will review each site extensively to assure it is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this section of the bylaw. Article 5. To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaw, Section 8.1(13), Parking Requirements as they relate to the Village Commercial Zoning District. Paragraph 13 to read as follows: Petition of the Planning Board See Attached Explanation: To place changes to the Village Commercial Dimensional Requirements in the proper Section of the Zoning Bylaw. THE FOLLOWING FOOTNOTE SHALL BE AMENDED AS FOLLOWS: (SECTION 8.1 (13)) 13. VILLAGE COMMERCIAL DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS. PARKING Objective: To produce parking which is aesthetically pleasing, well screened, accessible and broken into smaller parcels that may directly and adequately service adjacent structures. Recommended guidelines: A minimum of 5% landscaping and green space must be provided for in all parking areas. This 5% is not intended to include the buffer zones, but shall include all internal landscaped islands in the parking areas. No single section of parking may contain more than 25% of the total proposed parking spaces or more than 50 spaces, whichever is less. As a method of division, 6' wide parking lot islands shall be installed to provide the proper break between adjacent parking lots. for projects which require less than 50 spaces in total, the Planning Board may allow all 50 spaces to be located together if an effective visual buffer is provided. Each landscaped island must be 6' in width a the minimum. In locations where the possibility exists to enlarge the entire island or portions thereof, the Planning Board would recommend that such measures be taken. In all instances where natural topography lends itself to the screening of these parking areas it shall be left in its natural state. The Planning Board may at their discretion require additional screening at the owners expense. Parking lots shall be provided only at the side or to the rear of the buildings. The Planning Board may, at their discretion, allow up to 50 spaces, or 25% of the total parking, whichever is greater, to be located to the front of the structure as long as all other dimensional criteria are adhered to. ee The Planning Board shall have the discretion to allow between 4 - 6 parking spaces per 1000 square feet of Gross Floor Area for retail development in the Village Commercial District.

Purpose The Watershed Protection District surrounding Lake Cochichewick, the Town's sole source of public drinking water supply, is intended to preserve and maintain the filtration and purification function of the land, the purity of the groundwater and the lake, to conserve the natural environment and to protect the public health, safety and welfare. The Lake Cochichewick Watershed Plan (August 1987), prepared by IEP Inc. for the Town of North Andover, is a comprehensive study of the lake and its watershed. The Watershed Protection District is a portion of the IEP study's recommended management plan. Copies of the Watershed Plan are available in the Office of Planning and Community Development. The Watershed Protection District is herein established as an overlay district and shall be superimposed on the other districts established by this Bylaw, The requirements enumerated hereafter for this Watershed Protection District shall be in addition to, rather than in place of, the requirements of such other districts. The Special Permit Granting Authority (SPGA) under this Bylaw shall be the Planning Board. 2. Boundaries a. District Boundaries Boundaries of the Watershed Protection District are shown on Attachment 1, entitled Subdrainage Areas (dated August 1985) and contained in the Watershed Plan. This map is hereby made a part of this Bylaw and is on file in the office of the Town Clerk. The Zoning Map's Lake Cochichewick Watershed boundary shall conform with the aforementioned IEP map. In the event that the SPGA determines, on the basis of credible evidence before it, that there exists a significant doubt or dispute concerning the proper location of boundaries of the Watershed Protection District on any individual lot or lots, the SPGA shall, at the request of the owner of such lot or lots, engage a Registered Professional Engineer to advise it in determining such boundaries. The owner making such request shall reimburse the SPGA for the cost of such Engineer. Upon completion of the Engineer's report to the SPGA, the SPGA shall hold a hearing to make a final determination of such boundaries. At such hearing, such report shall be deemed evidence sufficient to establish the location of the boundary. When the Watershed Protection District boundary divides a lot of record on June 28, 1978, in one ownership, the intent of the zoning regulation set forth in this zoning Bylaw applying to the greater part by area of such lot so divided shall be deemed to apply and govern at and beyond such Watershed Protection District boundary, but only to the extent not more than one hundred (100) linear feet in depth (at a right angle to such boundary) into the lesser part by area of such lot so divided, provided, however, that where the premises are partially outside of the Watershed Protection District, potential pollution sources such as on-site waste disposal systems, shall be located outside of the District to the extent feasible. b.

FOOTNOTE 17. SIT. AT,T, BE ADDED TO TABLE 2. 17. VILLAGE COMMERCIAL DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS. SETBACKS Objective: The setbacks have been determined and arranged in such a way as to promote a quality development which lends itself to the surrounding community in an unobstructive manner. Recommended g~ideline: ae Front setbacks for structures along Route 114 shall be a minimum of 50', all of which shall be used as an effective visual buffer. No parking shall be allowed within that 50' buffer. Any roadways or drives within that 50' buffer shall be as necessary for access only. be Side and rear setbacks shall be a minimum of 25' with the first 10' remaining as an effective visual buffer. When adjacent to residential districts the minimum setback shall be 40' with the first 25' remaining as a buffer. The Planning Board may allow the minimum setback adjacent to a residential district to be reduced to 25' provided that the maximum height of the proposed structure be 25' not to exceed one story. Further, for every 1' that the structure is moved closer to the residential property line the maximum allowed height of the structure shall be reduced by 1'. (Diagram 1) No parking shall be allowed within the side or rear setback. Any roadways or drives within those setbacks shall be as necessary for access only. Diagram 1.

To see if the Town will vote to add to Section 8.4 of the Zoning Bylaw, Screening and Landscaping Requirements for Off-Street Commercial and Industrial Districts, Paragraph 6, to read as follows: Petition of the Planning Board Explanation: To place changes to the Village Commercial Dimensional Requirements in the proper Section of the Zoning Bylaw. SECTION 8.4 SHALL BE AMENDED AS FOLT~WS: PARAGRAPH 6. SHALL BE ADDED TO SECTION 8.4 AND READS AS FOLLOWS: 6. VI?.?%GE COMMERCIAL DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS. In the Village Commercial Zoning District the following requirements shall be adhered to. The following requirements are only to be placed upon the Village Commercial Zoning District and shall take the place of the preceding regulations found in paragraphs 1-5. SCREENING Objective: Due to the high aesthetic standards to which the Architecture shall be made to conform, the main purpose of the screening shall be to screen the parking and other accessory structures which may be a part of the development. The Planning Board may req]/ire any additional screening as may be reasonably required. Recommended guidelines: ae Ail buffer zones must be designed by a registered Landscape Architect, or other professional as approved by the Planning Board. The Planning Board recommends that materials to be used in the buffer include but not be limited to the following material: Natural/existing vegetation, natural topography, berms, stone walls, fences, deciduous and coniferous shrubs/trees, perenials, annuals, pedestrial scale walkways, gazebos and other landscape material as it addresses the aesthetic quality of the site. The final approval of all material used within the buffer zone shall be at the discretion of the Planning Board. Parking Lots containing 10 or more spaces shall be required to provide one tree for every five spaces. All trees shall be a deciduous mix of at least 2.5 inch caliper when planted. Native trees and shrubs shall be planted wherever possible, in order to capture the "spirit of the locale" through indigenous species (such as lilac, viburnum, day lilies, ferns, red twig dogwood, oak, maple, sycamore, linden, hawthorne, birch, shadbush, etc.) In instances where healthy plant material exists on a site prior to its development, in part or in whole, for purpose of off street parking or other vehicular use areas, the Planning Board may adjust the application of the above mentioned standards to allow credit for such plant material if, in its opinion, such an adjustment is in keeping with and will preserve the intent of these standards. As each site is different it is difficult to provide strict guidelines and regulations as to the amount of screening to be appropriate for any given site. With this in mind, the Planning board will review each site extensively to assure it is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this section of the bylaw. Article 5. To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaw, Section 8.1(13), Parking Requirements as they relate to the Village Commercial Zoning District. Paragraph 13 to read as follows: Petition of the Planning Board See Attached Explanation: To place changes to the Village Commercial Dimensional Requirements in the proper Section of the Zoning Bylaw. THE FOLLOWING FOOTNOTE SHALL BE AMENDED AS FOLLOWS: (SECTION 8.1 (13)) 13. VII.r%GE COMMERCIAL DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS. PARKING Objective: To produce parking which is aesthetically pleasing, well screened, accessible and broken into smaller parcels that may directly and adequately service adjacent structures. Recommended guidelines: ae A minimum of 5% landscaping and green space must be provided for in all parking areas. This 5% is not intended to include the buffer zones, but shall include all internal landscaped islands in the parking areas. be No single section of parking may contain more than 25% of the total proposed parking spaces or more than 50 spaces, whichever is less. As a method of division, 6' wide parking lot islands shall be installed to provide the proper break between adjacent parking lots. for projects which require less than 50 spaces in total, the Planning Board may allow all 50 spaces to be located together if an effective visual buffer is provided. Each landscaped island must be 6' in width a the minimum. In locations where the possibility exists to enlarge the entire island or portions thereof, the Planning Board would recommend that such measures be taken. Ce In all instances where natural topography lends itself to the screening of these parking areas it shall be left in its natural state. The Planning Board may at their discretion require additional screening at the owners expense. Parking lots shall be provided only at the side or to the rear of the buildings. The Planning Board may, at their discretion, allow up to 50 spaces, or 25% of the total parking, whichever is greater,~to be located to the front of the structure as long as all other dimensional criteria are adhered to. ee The Planning Board shall have the discretion to allow between 4 - 6 parking spaces per 1000 square feet of Gross Floor Area for retail development in the Village Commercial District.

To see what sums the Town will vote to transfer into various line items of the Fiscal Year 1991 operating budget from other line items of said budget and from other available funds; or to take any other action relative thereto. Board of Selectmen Board of Selectmen Recommendation: Favorable Action. Advisory Board Recommendation: To be made at Town Meeting. Advisory Board Motion MOVE that the Town vote to transfer certain funds, as noted under Article 13 of the May 7, 1990, Annual Town Meeting and as amended under Article #8 of the January 29, 1991, Special Town Meeting, from the unexpended balances of: General Insurance - Expenses Employee Benefits - Expenses Public Works - Expenses Town Manager Salaries $ 87,850 49,000 48,900 5,000 being a sum of $ 190,750 to be added to the following accounts: Fire Department Salaries Interest on Debt - Expenses Legal and Audit Expenses Advisory Board - Expenses Veterans Services - Expenses Treasury - Expenses $ 37,000 136,850 5,000 3,900 3,000 5,000 Projected Tax Impact In discussion on Article 8, 9, 13 and 14, reference will be made to the property tax impact. In determining this impact, we are using the following method: the property tax base used as part of the revenue to fund Article 7 is $19.9 million. Therefore, for calculations, we are using a base of $20 million. Assume an article calling for an additional $1 million tax override. This repre- sents a 5% increase in the total property tax, which means that if your property tax bill, prior to any additional action, were $1,000, then this $1 million article would add $50 to your annual property taxes.

Advisory Board Motion MOVE the Town vote that $2,300,000 is appropriated for the purpose of securing plans and specifications, including work drawings, constructing an addition to and remodeling, reconstructing and making extraordinary repairs to the Stevens Memorial Library; that to meet this appropriation, the Treasurer with the approval of the Selectmen, is authorized to borrow $2,300,000 under G.L. c.44, S.7 as amended; that the Library Board of Trustees with the approval of the Selectmen are authorized to contract for and expend any federal or state aid available for the project, provided that the amount of the authorized borrowing shall be reduced by the amount of such aid received prior to the issuance of bonds or notes under this vote; and that the Library Board of Trustees is authorized to enter into any contracts or take any other action necessary to carry out this project; provided, however, that this vote shall not take effect until the Town votes to exempt from the limitation on total taxes imposed by G.L. c.59, s.21C (Proposition 2 1/2) amounts required to pay the principal of and interest on the borrowing authorized by this vote.

The Lake Cochichewick Watershed Plan (August 1987), prepared by IEP Inc. for the Town of North Andover, is a comprehensive study of the lake and its watershed. The Watershed Protection District is a portion of the IEP study's recommended management plan. Copies of the Watershed Plan are available in the Office of Planning and Community Development. The Watershed Protection District is herein established as an overlay district and shall be superimposed on the other districts established by this Bylaw. The requirements enumerated hereafter for this Watershed Protection District shall be in addition to, rather than in place of, the requirements of such other districts. The Special Permit Granting Authority (SPGA) under this Bylaw shall be the Planning Board. 2. Boundaries a. District Boundaries Boundaries of the Watershed Protection District are shown on Attachment 1, entitled Subdrainage Areas (dated August 1985) and contained in the Watershed Plan. This map is hereby made a part of this Bylaw and is on file in the office of the Town Clerk. The Zoning Map's Lake Cochichewick Watershed boundary shall conform with the aforementioned IEP map. In the event that the SPGA determines, on the basis of credible evidence before it, that there exists a significant doubt or dispute concerning the proper location of boundaries of the Watershed Protection District on any individual lot or lots, the SPGA shall, at the request of the owner of such lot or lots, engage a Registered Professional Engineer to advise it in determining such boundaries. The owner making such request shall reimburse the SPGA for the cost of such Engineer. Upon completion of the Engineer's report to the SPGA, the SPGA shall hold a hearing to make a final determination of such boundaries. At such hearing, such report shall be deemed evidence sufficient to establish the location of the boundary. When the Watershed Protection District boundary divides a lot of record on June 28, 1978, in one ownership, the intent of the zoning regulation set forth in this zoning Bylaw applying to the greater part by area of such lot so divided shall be deemed to apply and govern at and beyond such Watershed Protection District boundary, but only to the extent not more than one hundred (100) linear feet in depth (at a right angle to such boundary) into the lesser part by area of such lot so divided, provided, however, that where the premises are partially outside of the Watershed Protection District, potential pollution sources such as on-site waste disposal systems, shall be located outside of the District to the extent feasible. b.

In the Village Commercial Zoning District the following requirements shall be adhered to. The following requirements are only to be placed upon the Village Commercial Zoning District and shall take the place of the preceding regulations found in paragraphs 1-5. SCREENING Objective: Due to the high aesthetic standards to which the Architecture shall be made to conform, the main purpose of the screening shall be to screen the parking and other accessory 11. structures which may be a part of the development. The Planning Board may require any additional screening as may be reasonably required. Recommended guidelines: ae Ail buffer zones must be designed by a registered Landscape Architect, or other professional as approved by the Planning Board. The Planning Board recommends that materials to be used in the buffer include but not be limited to the following material: Natural/existing vegetation, natural topography, berms, stone walls, fences, deciduous and coniferous shrubs/trees, perenials, annuals, pedestrial scale walkways, gazebos and other landscape material as it addresses the aesthetic quality of the site. The final approval of all material used within the buffer zone shall be at the discretion of the Planning Board. Co Parking Lots containing 10 or more spaces shall be required to provide one tree for every five spaces. All trees shall be a deciduous mix of at least 2.5 inch caliper when planted. Native trees and shrubs shall be planted wherever possible, in order to capture the "spirit of the locale" through indigenous species (such as lilac, viburnum, day lilies, ferns, red twig dogwood, oak, maple, sycamore, linden, hawthorne, birch, shadbush, etc.) In instances where healthy plant material exists on a site prior to its development, in part or in whole, for purpose of off street parking or other vehicular use areas, the Planning Board may adjust the application of the above mentioned standards to allow credit for such plant material if, in its opinion, such an adjustment is in keeping with and will preserve the intent of these standards. As each site is different it is difficult to provide strict guidelines and regulations as to the amount of screening to be appropriate for any given site. With this in mind, the Planning board will review each site extensively to assure it is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this section of the bylaw. ~ Article 5.

PARKING Objective: To produce parking which is aesthetically pleasing, well screened, accessible and broken into smaller parcels that may directly and adequately service adjacent structures. Recommended guidelines: at A minimum of 5% landscaping and green space must be provided for in all parking areas. This 5% is not intended to include the buffer zones, but shall include all internal landscaped islands in the parking areas. No single section of parking may contain more than 25% of the total proposed parking spaces or more than 50 spaces, whichever is less. As a method of division, 6' wide parking lot islands shall be installed to provide the proper break between adjacent parking lots. for projects which require less than 50 spaces in total, the Planning Board may allow all 50 spaces to be located together if an effective visual buffer is provided. Each landscaped island must be 6' in width a the minimum. In locations where the possibility exists to enlarge the entire island or portions thereof, the Planning Board would recommend that such measures be taken. In all instances where natural topography lends itself to the screening of these parking areas it shall be left in its natural state. The Planning Board may at their discretion require additional screening at the owners expense. de Parking lots shall be provided only at the side or to the rear of the buildings. The Planning Board may, at their discretion, allow up to 50 spaces, or 25% of the total parking, whichever is greater, to be located to the front of the structure as long as all other dimensional criteria are adhered to. ee The Planning Board shall have the discretion to allow between 4 - 6 parking spaces per 1000 square feet of Gross Floor Area for retail development in the Village Commercial District. 13. ~ Article 6.

It is the Town's legislature, where fiscal issues, zoning changes, by-law amendments, and other matters affecting the town are decided. Each voter has one vote in the decision making process. A regular (annual) meeting is held each May, to decide issues for the fiscal year starting in July. A (special) town meeting may be called at other times, to deal with issues that can not wait for the next annual meeting; a special town meeting is called by the selectmen; a petition of two hundred (200) voters will cause one to be called. Warrant -- Public notice of business to be considered at Town Meeting. It is publicly posted throughout the town, sets a time and place for the meeting, and contains one or more articles. The warran5 is opened by the selectmen for article submission prior to the meeting, and closed well in advance of the meeting. Article -- Definition of an issue to be decided at the meeting. Individual matters are described in articles so that all voters are warned of potential action to be taken. The scope of each article sets the bounds of actions that may be taken. Articles are submitted by town agencies, or citizen petitions of ten (10) at annual meetings, or one hundred .(100) at special meetings. Main Motion -- Required under the article (and within its scope) for the meeting to act. It may be as simple as "To adopt the article, as printed in the warrant" or a more complex action, as long as long as the article's scope is not exceeded. A main motion should be made and seconded for discussion to proceed; a favorable recommendation from the A4visory Board will be taken as a main motion, made and seconded. Whenever possible, affirmativ~ (rather than negative) main motions are preferred to avoid confusion. Amendments -- Voting -- Reconsideration -- Adjournment -- Dissolution -- May be offered to a main motion, debated and accepted or rejected. Complex amendments should be s~bmitted to the Moderator in writing. Individual amendments will be considered in turn; amendments to amendments are discouraged. The resultant (possibly amended) main motion will ultimately be voted upon. Is done by voice ("Aye" or "No"), a show of hands, or standing in place. The moderator will call for a vote, and announce the results. For other than a counted vote,, seven (7) voters may doubt the announced vote by rising and standing in place; such doubt will cause a counted vote to be taken. Most issues will be decided by a simple majority of those voting; issues requiring a two-thirds (2/3), four-fifths (4/5) or other majority will be clearly identified to the meeting. Of action taken under an article may be proposed only once. The option is useful when inter-dependent decisions are to be made under separate articles; it is dangerous when introduced after a hard-fought decision has been made, and there has been a change in the audience. Introducing a motion to reconsider immediately after a hard-fought decision, with the expectation of its defeat, will effectively lock out future reconsideration. To another date and place certain may be proposed and voted to recess the meeting to a futUre session. Is the final act of a meeting. Ail issues will have concluded, and future discussion will require another warrant for another meeting. CourteSy issues: Please introduce yourseIf, using name and street address the first time that you speak at any session of Town Meeting. If acting as attorney or paid agent for another, disclose this fact at the start of any remarks. Address the meeting with new information, to persuade undecided voters. Re-iterating old information as a show of support takes time, and does little to affect the outcome of a vote. Please refrain from applause or negative jeers during discussion. Brevity in remarks shows respect for the value of your neighbor's time. The most persuasive statements at Town Meeting are often the most succinctly stated, retaining the audience's full attention. Participation at Town Meeting is an American tradition, one which differentiates New England towns from other regions and from larger cities. Decisions made by these meetings are somehow more satisfying than those ~elegated to elected boards or paid staff. Help maintain this tradition by joining with neighbors to discuss the issues. We will respect the value of your time and participation. Charles A.

TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER ADVISORY BOARD REPORT TO THE CITIZENS 1991 ANNTJAL TO~fN MEETING MAY 6, 1991 North Andover is facing a crisis with regard to providing for public education and basic public services. Over the past few years as revenue increases fell below the level needed to cover increasing cost, North Andover was able to maintain essential services and avoid layoffs by squeezing expense budgets, postponing equipment replacement, deferring maintenance, not funding road repairs and exhausting all financial reserves. We have reached the end of our collective ropes. If we are going to maintain any reasonable level and quality of public services, North Andover must control wages and benefits costs, set priorities (including maintenance work) and determine how to achieve additional revenue to fund basic services. Revenues are decreasinq while costs are increasin~. The projected FY 92 revenue is expected to be less than the previous year. General local revenues, which have been increasing for years, are predicted to drop. New growth revenues are minimal and State Aid is projected to drop from previous levels. For the first time, North Andover has fewer dollars available to spend next year compared to this year. As we recognize the reality of decreasing revenue, we must face increasing costs in virtually every area. Present inflationary increases are driving up the cost of electricity, fuel, supplies, wages and particularly, employees benefits inCluding health insurance. Signed union contracts provide for agreed upon increases. Obviously with fewer dollars available, a decrease in services through layoffs will be required to make ends meet. We have choices. The operating budget presented in Article 7 is based on present revenue projections and requires cuts in many budget line items of 10% or more. The "base budget" will require many layoffs and cuts in services which you may find to be unacceptable. The Advisory Board does not believe this budget adequately funds any sector of the public service. The cuts in staffing and maintenance will be devastating to our school systems, our police and fire departments - every service we depend on today. To have a balanced operating budget, this article must be passed. Report to the Citizens -2- May 6, 1991 As in previous years, the Advisory Board conducted hearings with each department head, the School Superintendent and the Town Manager. We must empathize with all of them as their requests and arguments for funding are sound. Given our best efforts to find logical areas to cut, there are very, very few. There is no fat. Article 8 included additional amounts for the FY 92 budget which maintains level funding for the operating departments. However, because of increasing costs, this still means significant cuts in expenses and reduction of services through layoffs. Article 9 includes additional amounts for the FY 92 budget which maintains the level of services provided in the previous year. We believe that this is the level of service which the citizens of North Andover require and deserve. The Advisory Board strongly recommends that you vote in favor of Article 8 and Article 9 to maintain the minimum level of public service on which we all now depend. The Advisory Board believes that in these times of severe financial constraints, there are opportunities for cost efficiencies which Town management should pursue more actively. These include, common public safety dispatching, privatisation of Town services, common Town-wide maintenance programs, and accelerated water/sewer revenue collection. During FY 92, these and other areas need seriously to be addressed in order to. optimize the limited resources at hand. This Town Meeting will lay the groundwork for the basis on which North Andover will be managed ~over the next few years. As we struggle to come to grips with the new revenue realities, the decisions made on the floor of Town Meeting this year will guide all of us. The Advisory Board urges all citizens to turn out and make their positions known.

Board of Selectmen Board of Selectmen Recommendation: To be made at Town Meeting. Advisory Board Recommendation: To be made at Town Meeting. Projected Tax Impact In discussion on Article 8, 9, 13 and 14., reference will be made to the property tax impact. In determining this impact, we are using the following method: the property tax base used as part of the revenue to fund Article 7 is $19.9 million. Therefore, for calculations, we are using a base of $20 million. Assume an article calling for an additional $1 million tax override. This repre- sents a 5% increase in the total property tax, which means that if your property tax bill, prior to any additional action, were $1,000, then this $1 million article would add $50 to your annual property taxes.

Town Manager Board of Selectmen Recommendation: Favorable Action. Advisory Board Recommendation: Favorable Action. Advisory Board Explanation: Every three years the carbon needs to be replaced at a cost of approximately $500,000. The intent of this article, and a similar article each year, is to smooth out the impact of this expenditure over the three-year life. ARTICLE 11. PORTABLE CLASSROOMS. To see if the Town will ~vote to raise and appropriate (borrow, or transfer from available funds) the sum of $ 145,272.00, to be expended under the direction of the School Committee to lease, install, and equip four (4) portable classrooms; to further see if the Town will vote to authorize the School Committee to enter into a lease or lease/purchase contract for portable classrooms for a term not to exceed five (5) years; to determine whether this appropriation shall be raised by borrowing or otherwise; or to take any other action relative thereto. School Committee Board of Selectmen Recommendation: To be made at Town Meeting. Advisory Board Recommendation: To see if the Town will vote to authorize the School Committee to enter into a lease or lease/purchase contract for four (4) portable classrooms for a term not to exceed.five (5) years. Advisory Board ExDlanation: The article as we recommend it satisfies a legal requirement to have Town Meeting authorization for the School Committee to negotiate a contract in excess of three years. The cost shown in the original article for the portable classrooms is in three parts: 1) transportation and installation at approximately $20,000 each, 2) initial equipping and furnishing at a cost of approximately $8,000 each, and 3) the first year lease costs for all four classrooms. The lease costs are operating costs and belong in the operating budget. The installation and equipping costs, totalling $112,000, are capital costs and the Advisory Board has included them in their recommendation under Article 12, Item 14. 21 ARTICLE 12. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN APPROPRIATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 1992. To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate, transfer from available funds, or borrow under the provisions of M.G.L.

It is the Town's legislature, where fiscal issues, zoning changes, by-law amendments, and other matters affecting the town are decided. Each voter has one vote in the decision making process. A regular (annual) meeting is held each May, to decide issues for the fiscal year starting in July. A (special) town meeting may be called at other times, to deal with issues that can not wait for the next annual meeting; a special town meeting is called by the selectmen; a petition of two hundred (200) voters will cause one to be called. Warrant -- Public notice of business to be considered at Town Meeting. It is publicly posted throughout the tawn, sets a time and place for the meeting, and contains one or more articles. The warrant is opened by the selectmen for article submission prior to the meeting, and closed well in advance of the meeting. Article -- Main Motion -- Definition of an issue to be decided at the meeting. Individual matters are described in articles so that all voters are warned of potential action to be taken. The scope of each article sets the bounds of actions that may be taken. Articles are submitted by town agencies, or citizen petitions of ten (10) at annual me~tings, or one hundred (100) at special meetings. Required under the article (and within its scope) for the meeting to act. It may be as simple as "To adopt the article, as printed-in the warrant" or a more complex action, as long as long as the article's scope is not exceeded. A main motion should be made and seconded for discussion to proceed; a favorable recommendation from the Advisory Board will be taken as a main motion, made and seconded. Whenever possible, affirmative (rather than negative) main motions are preferred to avoid confusion. Amendments -- May be offered to a main motion, debated and accepted or rejected. Complex amendments should be submitted to the Moderator in writing. Individual amendments will be considered in turn; amendments to amendments are discouraged. The resultant (possibly amended) main motion will ultimately be voted upon. Voting -- Is done by voice ("Aye" or "No"), a show of hands, or standing in place. The moderator will call for a vote, and announce the results. For other than a counted vote, seven (7) voters may doubt the announced vote by rising and standing in place; such doubt will cause a counted vote to be taken. Most issues will be decided by a simple majority of those voting; issues requiring a two-thirds (2/3), four-fifths (4/5) or other majority will be clearly identified to the meeting. Reconsideration -- Of action taken under an article may be proposed only once. The option is useful when inter-dependent decisions are to be made under separate articles; it is dangerous when introduced after a hard-fought decision has been made, and there has been a change in the audience. Introducing a motion to reconsider immediately after a hard-fought decision, with the expectation of its defeat, will effectively lock out future reconsideration. Adjournment -- To another date and place certain may be proposed and voted to recess the meeting to a future session. Dissolution -- Is the final act of a meeting. Ail issues will have concluded, and future discussion will require another warrant for another meeting. The Players: The following have legal obligations to Town Meeting Voters -- The ultimate decision makers. Voted decisions are binding on the entire town, including its elected officials. Moderator -- Elected, responsible for the conduct of the meeting. Parliamentary rulings, conducting of the debate and voting are vested solely in the Moderator. Selectmen -- Elected, responsible for calling the meeting and ordering the warrant. This executive board is often authorized by the meeting to act in the Town's behalf between town meetings. Advisory Board -- (sometimes called the Finance Committee) Appointed by the Moderator, responsible for recommending on financial and often other articles. This cross-section of citizens has the opportunity to investigate articles proposed to the meeting, and make independent recommendations. Planning Board -- Appointed by the Town Manager, responsible for administering the Town's Zoning By-law. This board is required to hold hearings and make recommendations on articles which affect zoning or environmental issues. Town Clerk -- Appointed by the Town Manager, responsible for physical arrangements of the meeting, and for re~ording the minutes of actions taken. Town Counsel -- The Town's Attorney, appointed by the Selectmen. Counsel will make legal rulings, and advise the meeting, as needed. Other Players: The following participants have strong interest in assuring the meeting's success. They will propose issues and supply information to the voters. School Committee, Town Manager, Superintendent of Schools, Town Accountant, Department Heads, and Town Committees. Supportinq Cast: The following staff supply the necessary support to conduct a meeting of this size: Registrars of Voters, Voter Check-in clerks, Counters, Public Safety Officer and Facilities Manager of the building used. Courtesy issues: Please introduce yourself, using name and street address the first time that you speak at any session of Town Meeting. If acting as attorney or paid agent for another, disclose this fact at the start of any remarks. Address the meeting with new information, to persuade undecided voters. Re-iterating old information as a show of support takes time, and does little to affect the outcome of a vote. Please refrain from applause or negative jeers during discussion. Brevity in remarks shows respect for the value of your neighbor's time. The most persuasive statements at Town Meeting are often the most succinctly stated, retaining the audience's full attention. Participation at Town Meeting is an American tradition, one which differentiates New England towns from other regions and from larger cities. Decisions made by these meetings are somehow more satisfying than those delegated to elected boards or paid staff. Help maintain this tradition by joining with neighbors to discuss the issues. We will respect the value of your time and participation. Charles A. Salisbury Town Moderator 1424 Salem Street North Andover, MA 01845 (508) 685-1568 Town By-laws affecting Town Meeting 59-1.

TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER ADVISORY BOARD REPORT TO THE CITIZENS 1991 ANNUAL TO~NMEETING MAY 6, 1991 North Andover is facing a crisis with regard to providing for public education and basic public services. Over the past few years as revenue increases fell below the level needed to cover increasing cost, North Andover was able to maintain essential services and avoid layoffs by squeezing expense budgets, postponing equipment replacement, deferring maintenance, not funding road repairs and exhausting all financial reserves. We have reached the end of our collective ropes. If we are going to maintain any reasonable level and quality of public services, North Andover must control wages and benefits costs, set priorities (including maintenance work) and determine how to achieve additional revenue to fund basic services. Revenues are decreasinq while costs are increasinq- The projected FY 92 revenue is expected to be less than the previous year. General local revenues, which have been increasing for years, are predicted to drop. New growth revenues are minimal and State Aid is projected to drop from previous levels. For the first time, North Andover has fewer dollars available to spend next year compared to this year. As we recognize the reality of decreasing revenue, we must face increasing costs in virtually every area. Present inflationary increases are driving up the cost of electricity, fuel, supplies, wages and particularly, employees benefits inCluding health insurance. Signed union contracts provide for agreed upon increases. Obviously with fewer dollars available, a decrease In services through layoffs will be required to make ends meet. We have choices. The operating budget presented in Article 7 is based on present revenue projections and requires cuts in many budget line items of 10% or more. The "base budget" will require many layoffs and cuts in services which you may find to be unacceptable. The Advisory Board does not believe this budget adequately funds any sector of the public service. The cuts in staffing and maintenance will be devastating to our school systems, our police and fire departments - every service we depend on today. To have a balanced operating budget, this article must be passed. Report to the Citizens -2- May 6, 1991 As in previous years, the Advisory Board conducted hearings with each department head, the School Superintendent and the Town Manager. We must empathize with all of them as their requests and arguments for funding are sound. Given our best efforts to find logical areas to cut, there are very, very few. There is no fat. Article 8 included additional amounts for the FY 92 budget which maintains level funding for the operating departments. However, because of increasing costs, this still means significant cuts in expenses and reduction of services through layoffs. Article 9 includes additional amounts for the FY 92 budget which maintains the level of services provided in the previous year. We believe that this is the level of service which the citizens of North Andover require and deserve. The Advisory Board strongly recommends that you vote in favor of Article 8 and Article 9 to maintain the minimum level of public service on which we all now depend. The Advisory Board believes that in these times of severe financial constraints, there are opportunities for cost efficiencies which Town management should pursue more actively. These include, common public safety dispatching, privatisation of Town services, common Town-wide maintenance programs, and accelerated water/sewer revenue collection. During FY 92, these and other areas need seriously to be addressed in order to optimize the limited resources at hand. This Town Meeting will lay the groundwork for the basis on which North Andover will be managed 'over the next few years. As we struggle to come to grips with the new revenue realities, the decisions made on the floor of Town Meeting this year will guide all of us. The Advisory Board urges all citizens to turn out and make their positions known. THE NORTH ANDOVER ADVISORY BOARD Guenter Loeser, Chairman Don Rodgers, Vice chairman John Chmielecki Mary Lou Crafton Andy Shipley Len Dubois Jacob Freedman Jim Sullivan Pat Cavanaugh TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER ANNUAL TOWN MEETING - MAY 6, 1991 COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS ESSEX, SS.

Director of Finance Board of Selectmen Recommendation: Favorable Action. Advisory Board Recommendation: Favorable Action. ARTICLE 6. FISCAL YEAR 1991 BUDGET TRANSFERS. To see what sums the Town will vote to transfer into various line items of the Fiscal Year 1991 operating budget from other line items of said budget and from other available funds; or to take any other action relative thereto. Board of Selectmen Board of Selectmen Recommendation: To be made at Town Meeting. Advisory Board Recommendation: To be made at Town Meeting. Projected Tax Impact In discussion on Article 8, 9, 13 and 14, reference will be made to the property tax impact. In determining this impact, we are using the following method: the property tax base used as part of the revenue to fund Article 7 is $19.9 million. Therefore, for calculations, we are using a base of $20 million. Assume an article calling for an additional $1 million tax override. This repre- sents a 5% increase in the total property tax, which means that if your property tax bill, prior to any additional action, were $1,000, then this $1 million article would add $50 to your annual property taxes. ARTICLE 7. GENERAL APPROPRIATION ARTICLE FOR FISCAL YEAR 1992. To see what action the Town will take as to the budget recommendations of the Board of Selectmen for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1991, and ending June 30, 19921 or to take any other action relative thereto.
