Town Meeting approved Article 29, establishing a new revolving fund to manage fees collected from rentals of the Senior Center. The fund will allow the town to use rental income to cover expenses related to the facility, though the debate sparked questions regarding who should oversee the money and how it should be spent.

Member Richard Livingston moved to grant the Council on Aging (COA) authority over the fund rather than the Board of Selectmen, arguing that other departments like the library and parks control their own revolving funds. However, Warrant Committee Member Glenn Pavlochek clarified that because the COA is an appointed body rather than an elected one, oversight remains with the Selectmen. Selectman James McCarthy added that the Town Office building budget, not the COA, is responsible for the facility's upkeep.

The meeting accepted a friendly amendment from Diane Augustino to explicitly include maintenance as an authorized use for the fund. Additionally, frustrated by the length of the evening's deliberations, Town Meeting Member Brian Walsh successfully moved to limit all future speakers to one turn of no more than five minutes each.

Motion: To establish a Senior Center Revolving Fund for rental fees, including maintenance in its authorized uses.

Vote: Passed Unanimously
