Please note: Articles 8, 9, and 10 numbers had to be changed to comply with state law, which requires a bond warrant to follow zoning questions. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused during the final DRA and Legal review of the warrant prior to printing this week. Of significance is that the Fire Station warrant was renumbered from #10 to #8.
