He said his interest in the building is to see it rehabilitated, option A, and has outlined a proposal to the Selectmen in January to return the building to the tax roles. Mr. Closs answered questions as did the Board of Selectmen.

Selectman Mical explained that unlike the truck purchase in 2003, the Town did not have a trade in this year but wanted to respond to many years of requests from the Public Works Director for another truck.

A request was made, with many residents concurring, that the Public Works Director should attend the Town Meetings to defend and explain his requests and answer questions from the public.

Discussion followed.

Budget Committee Chairman Michael Cutting explained the committee supported the request after hearing from the Public Works Director.

He said the Public Works Director said he had the manpower and by adding a truck to the fleet he could reallocate all the routes.

Motion to call the question. Second.

Voice Vote. Nays in the Majority. Article 13 Failed. Voice Vote.

Rebecca Courser requested a point of clarification on Article 12. She said she had voted Aye and could not make a motion but asked the people who voted Nay to think about reconsidering Article 12. She said she understands the sentiment of sending Hopkinton a message but in reality, Warner will be taken to court and will have to pay legal fees in addition to the $17,000 .

Explanation by J D. Colcord on the history of the Federal Court ruling on the responsibilities of the Towns and haulers involved with the Hopkinton landfill closing. His suggestion was to reconsider, instruct the Selectmen to fight as hard with Hopkinton, but stay our of court.

Discussion followed.

Barbara Annis suggested that a hand count be taken due to the emotion of this issue and the response of that emotion in a voice vote.

Motion to call the question. Second.

Moderator explained a "YES" vote would be to reconsider the vote on Article 12 and a "NO" vote would be to allow the vote already taken to stand.

ARTICLE 14. To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $100,000.00 (One Hundred Thousand Dollars) to be placed in the existing East Roby District Road Reconstruction Capital Reserve Fund. (Recommended by the Selectmen) (Recommended by the Budget Committee and included in the Budget) This Article will be passed over if Article 9 passes.

Moderator read the article. He declared that this article had no connection to Article 9 and ruled that there needed to be a vote before it could be passed over.

Motion by Barbara Annis to NOT pass over Article 14. Second.

Mrs. Anis explained that East Roby District Road is in desperate repair and with only $200,000 in the East Roby District Road Capital Reserve for the $500,000 plus project, she would like $100,000 of the $140,000 not spent on the highway truck to be put into the Capital Reserve.

Moderator clarified that although Article 13 requested $140,000, only $90,000 would have been raised by taxation but $17,000 was defeated in Article 12 so there would be $100,000 available.

Selectman Mical answered questions that the reason Article 14 was written to be passed over if Article 9 passed was due to budget constraints and concerns of staying within the budget.

Martha Bodnarick expressed concern that many people had already left after the vote on Article 9 passed knowing that Article 14 would then be passed over. She said it should have been stated in the beginning of the meeting that all Articles would be brought up for a vote. Moderator suggested that Mrs. Bodnarick vote to pass over Article 14.

John Dabuliewicz gave a point of order that Article 14 was a legitimate Article and only the legislative body can vote to pass over an Article. He said the wording in the Article to "pass over" is a recommendation and historically when Warner has passed over an article, it has taken a vote to do so.

Andrew Bodnarick said the article is illegal and was not properly warned.

Moderator ruled the article is legitimate and needed to be passed over by the voting body present.

Motion to call the question. Second.

Voice Vote. Nayes in the Majority. Motion to NOT pass over Article 14, Failed.
