Town Manager Fulton will ask the Selectboard at its February 27 meeting for authority to sign a contract with VTel regarding the Communication Tower. This would seemingly moot the bond vote warned for Town Meeting. Backers of the bond want the Town to build and own the tower itself. The option would be foreclosed once a binding agreement is in place with VTel. Mr. Fulton does not believe the bond will raise enough money to build the tower, although the amount is the same that the Town said it needed in a prior bond vote that was defeated in the Summer.
Should make for robust discussion at Town Eating Day the evening before.
