Article 3 and 4: Authorization to Accept and Grant Easements


These articles allow the Town to accept and grant easements for any public purpose.  An easement is a right to use someone else’s land for a particular purpose.  The Town often has to accept easements for purposes like extensions of sidewalks or for utility purposes.  The Town may grant an easement to a utility company or the Commonwealth.

Town Meeting Warrant Article of the Day – Article 2: Authorization of the Town Manager or Superintendent of Schools Regarding Contracts in Excess of Three Years

Article 2: Authorization of the Town Manager or Superintendent of Schools Regarding Contracts in Excess of Three Years 


Massachusetts Law only allows municipalities to enter into a contract of up to three years without permission of Town Meeting.  This article allows the Town Manager and Superintendent to sign contracts of longer than three years with the Select Board’s or School Committee’s approvals.  Towns will sometimes opt for longer contracts in order to lock in attractive pricing or for a lease.  For instance, the Select Board voted to allow a five year contract to rent the town’s postage machine in order to take advantage of the best pricing.
