This is to certify that the following vote was taken at the Board of
Selectmen's Meeting for the Town of North Andover held June 7, 2004:
Massachusetts General Law Chapter 59—Section 2D-Hopkinton Bill
Joyce Hanlon, Finance Director, provided information and recommended that the
Town not participate in the provisions of MGL Chapter 59 Section 2D referred to as the
Hopkinton Bill. Ms. Hanlon said it appears that the potential costs to the Town will far
outweigh the potential revenue from this additional assessment. Ms. Hanlon advised the
Board to make an election before June 30, 2004 to reject application of the Hopkinton
Bill and submit it to the DOR(Department of Revenue).
Donald Stewart made a Motion, seconded by Rosemary Smedile to reject the
provisions of General Laws Chapter 59, Section 2D for fiscal years beginning on or after
July 1, 2003 and all subsequent years. Vote approved 4-1. Selectman Mark Caggiano
opposed.
Joyce A. Bradshaw, CMMC, Town Clerk
