 Welcome!

On this page you will find information that is to be considered at the Spring Annual Town Meeting beginning on Monday, May 2, 2011 at 7:30PM in the Walpole High School Auditorium. Representative Town Meeting Members will act upon 34 Articles contained in the warrant. These articles deal with everything from the Annual Budget (FY’2012) to routine street acceptances. Prior to Town Meeting, this page will also host the so-called RTM Member Packet information showing a summary of many of the articles to be voted on. In addition, here for the first time you will find the proposed line-item budget for FY’2012. As is customary, the Personnel Services & Expenses bottom-lines for each department voted by the FinCom are presented to the RTM Members for their consideration.

 As you review these materials, please do not hesitate to contact my office (508-660-7289) with any questions you may have.

 Michael E. Boynton,Town Administrator
