Dalton to Hold Special Town Meeting Monday

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — Voters will reconvene Monday for a special town meeting to decide on six articles, including an item to permit mobile accessory dwelling units. 
 
The meeting will take place on Monday, June 29, at 7 p.m., at Wahconah Regional High School. 
 
The first article requests voters authorize amending the vote taken on Article 3 at the May 4 annual town meeting allowing the town to increase or decrease funding for one or more departments for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
 
Article 2 requests voters establish a line item for the Clean Air Committee. Subsequently, Article 3, transfers the available funds, that were appropriated at previous town meetings, into the new account. 
 
Article 4 requests voters transfer a sum of money, not yet provided, from the Capital Stabilization Fund to cover costs to the Department of Public Work's roof repair project that exceed borrowing.
 
The most anticipated articles are on amending the town's current bylaws to allow mobile tiny homes, Articles 5 and 6. 
 
For more than two years, Amy Turnbull has been advocating to amend the bylaw but has met obstacles delaying the effort.
