Selectmen to Open Fall Town Meeting Warrant Tonight

Selectmen tonight are scheduled to open the warrant for the Nov. 19, town meeting. 

Once opened the warrant can receive article submissions.

Town Administrator Tom Younger said he expects the meeting will take up an article not acted upon at the spring town meeting.

That item was to authorize selectmen to acquire Phillips Beach from those who claim ownership and to raise and appropriate or transfer $140,000 to acquire the beach.

A trust claims ownership of the beach.

The town administrator also expects discussions in the coming weeks over possible town meeting articles requiring funding. 

Selectmen meet Wednesday night at 7 at Town Hall.

The Nov. 19 town meeting will be at Swampscott High at 7 p.m. in the auditorium.
