Westport's annual Town Meeting was held Tuesday evening, too late for publication in this week's Shorelines. See www.eastbayri.com, and next week's edition, for full coverage.
Big issues on the agenda this year included the first step in a possible $3 million budget override, in which voters were asked if they wanted to appropriate $1 million in budget items pending a special election on the override, to be held between now and mid-September should warrant article six pass.
In Article 26, voters were also asked to appropriate $200,000 to fund a feasibility study to look into possible future uses of the town's municipal buildings and the old high school, with respect to uses including not limited to continual municipal use, educational use, school administration use, housing, and to "take any other action relative thereto."
The school has been closed for two years, and is currently the home of Westport Community Schools' administration.
