Adams Sets Town Meeting Date for June 24
ADAMS, Mass. — The Selectmen opened the annual town meeting warrant last week and set the date for town meeting as Monday, June 24.
"In two weeks, we will close the warrant and vote on it," Chairman John Duval said. The warrant closes April 17.
In other business, new Town Administrator Jay Green said he is settling into the position.
"I just want to thank everybody for the warm welcome over the last week and three days it has been a whirlwind," Green said. "It has been a very interesting time to join the town government but everyone has been incredibly supportive and kind and it reaffirms my desire to take the job."
Earlier in the meeting, the board members took action on some facility requests for the Memorial Building they tabled earlier this month because of coming heating and ventilation work in the building.
"We have a lot of use there which and it is great to see the public in the building," Green said. "But we have an obligation on the town's part to keep the building safe and do that work. There are so many moving parts so it is hard to say when the space will be available."
Green said the town anticipates undergoing work in the former school building in the coming months and the softball group using the space will have to be notified when to vacate the building.
He also reiterated that the town needs to have more oversight over the building. Over the winter, users failed to turn the heat down on the auxiliary HVAC unit the town rents and that substantially increased the building's costs.
