How do I make a motion or amendment?
Only Town Meeting Members may make motions and offer amendments. The Moderator must first acknowledge you. Long or complicated motions, and other motions which he requests, need to be presented to the Moderator in writing. Only 2 amendments will be accepted on any article, with the exception of Omnibus Budgets. For more information please call 508-495-7360.
