Dalton Select Board Approve Town Meeting for June 26

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass.—The Select Board approved the warrant for the Special Town Meeting that will take place on June 26 at 7 p.m. at Wahconah Regional High School during its meeting on Wednesday. 
 
Just days before, voters were prepared to reconvene for the meeting that was initially scheduled for Monday. However, on the afternoon of that day, town officials scrambled to postpone the meeting.
 
According to Town Clerk Heather Hunt, there were several deficiencies surrounding the warrant that resulted in Monday's cancellation, including it not being posted within the state-required 14 business days in advance, and the warrant not being posted at all six public locations listed on the warrant. 
 
On Monday afternoon, there was a complaint that the town meeting warrant was not posted at Dewey's in time, Select Board chair Robert Bishop said. 
 
The police department posts the warrant at specific public spaces, including Dewey's. But upon their arrival, Dewey's was closed. Bishop said because of this, it was not posted in time.
 
"The posting was legal because only five of the six needed to be posted. The police did nothing wrong on this. It was just because Dewey's was closed at the time they went to get that," Bishop said. 
 
The town bylaws only require that five warrants be posted around town, Hunt explained in a follow up. However, town council said that the meeting could be contested because Dewey's was listed as a posting location.
