Cornwall town meeting set for Nov. 1 at CCS

CORNWALL — The annual town meeting date has been set for Nov. 1 in the Cornwall Consolidated School at 7:30 p.m.

The agenda includes four items to be voted on by residents: approval of the annual audit, approval of the five year capital plan, approval of the Conservation Commission’s request to increase total members to nine (up from seven), and a resolution to change the tax assessor from an elected role to an appointed position.

A preliminary version of the five year capital plan was presented at a Board of Selectmen’s meeting Oct. 1. The plan showed an increase of $20,000 in next year’s spending, up from $750,000 to $770,000 (the increase was to the “Storm Damage Repairs” line item).

The annual audit is yet to be finalized, but it is expected to be completed by the end of October.
