Dalton Special Town Meeting Set Wednesday

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — A special town meeting will be held at Nessacus Regional Middle School this Wednesday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m. to vote on four articles. 
 
The first article requests that voters approve decreasing the fiscal year debt exclusion line item by $48,668.
 
Article 2 requests the transfer of $350,000 from capital stabilization to cover the cost of the final engineering and construction of the heating, air conditioning, and ventilation system for the Town Hall's main floor and the police station in its basement.
 
"We don't have an actual preliminary cost for this [yet.] We're still waiting for some assessments and some information from the engineers," said Finance Committee chair William Drosehn. 
 
Drosehn and Town Manager Thomas Hutcheson used the projected cost of previous HVAC projects at the town garage and Town Hall as a reference to calculate the amount for the town meeting. 
 
The town garage project's original estimate was $25,000. It has three air handlers, which circulate conditioned air throughout the building. 
 
This estimate "was a pleasant surprise," Hutcheson said.
