You will see below a notice of a Special Town Meeting to be held on Thursday, May 14, at 7:00 p.m. This is to annul or cancel the request from the Cabot School for $50,999 - which voters passed at regular March meeting. The original school budget asking for $3,660,125 was passed, as was the $50,999. Now there has been a petition to rescind or repeal the vote for the extra $50,999.

In addition, Cabot voters are being asked to increase to 10% the number of voters that is required in order to request a special meeting. The requirement is now 5%.

Also to be considered at 7 p.m. will be whether to change the school meeting to 6 p.m. on the Monday preceding regular town meeting.

At 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 14, voters will be asked to consider the new budget presented by the Cabot Library Trustees. The new budget request is for $50,068.30 - a reduction of $3,600.02.

In addition at the 8:00 p.m. meeting, will be whether any group or organization asking for funds from the voters should be required to provide in the town report full disclosure of their activities as well as their budget for such funds.

The above are being warned as two separate meetings: the school issues at 7 p.m. and the library issues at 8 p.m. The library warning was posted here on the blog on April 22, if you wish to go back and read it. The warning for the school issues are posted below.

These special articles will be voted upon at the meeting on May 14 - NOT by ballot, so anyone wishing to vote MUST attend the meeting. If you have questions, please contact the Cabot Town Clerk, Tara Rogerson, at 563- 2279, or by e-mail at tcocabot@fairpoint.net
