Selectmen Preview: Budget Talks, Danforth Update and More

The preview below was provided by Town Administrator Fred Turkington.

The Board of Selectmen will meet on Monday, Jan. 14, 2013, in Wayland Town Building.  

After Chairman John Bladon reviews the meeting agenda for the viewing public and makes any announcements, Selectmen will recess and reconvene in the Senior Center to present to the Finance Committee the FY2014 operating budget for those departments under the jurisdiction of the Board of Selectmen.

Following the budget presentation, the Board will return to the Selectmen’s Meeting Room to receive public comment.

Next, the Board will consider several articles that have been proposed for sponsorship by the Board of Selectmen for inclusion in the 2013 Annual Town Meeting Warrant. The Board will also consider some articles to be submitted on behalf of other committees for consideration for inclusion in the Warrant. Later, Selectmen will review the recommendations of the auditors to management and the proposed management response to address each recommendation as edited by the Audit Committee. 

After considering the consent calendar and reviewing correspondence, Selectmen will then listen to the report of the town administrator and offer general items of concern. The Board will then consider a draft agreement which pledges an adjustment to the mitigation settlement for the Danforth housing development provided the project approved by Framingham boards is substantially similar to the revised plan that has been put forth.

The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the Selectmen's Meeting Room.
