ANNUAL TOWN MEETING <br /> Reading Memorial High School April 26, 2018 <br /> Performing Arts Center <br /> The meeting was called to order by the Moderator, Alan E. Foulds, at 7:35 PM, there being a quorum <br /> present. The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was said by all. <br /> The following announcements were made by the Moderator: <br /> Here is how we will proceed tonight: <br /> We'll begin with the annual "State of the Town Address," followed by the Financial Update by the Finance <br /> Committee. <br /> After that we will proceed to Article 17 - the Budget. Traditionally, we have completed action on the <br /> budget during one session, so it is planned that a vote will be taken to take it out of order so we get to it <br /> early. <br /> We will handle the budget, as we have done in the past. We will take it by groupings. <br /> If you have any discussion or proposed amendments, the time to do so is while we are in the midst of that <br /> particular grouping. We'll vote on any proposed amendments before moving to the next set of line items. <br /> We won't vote on the budget until we have finished all five sets. <br /> Next, I expect to go back to the articles we skipped on Monday, beginning with Article 10, followed by 13. <br /> Then we will return to articles 15 and 16, and finish with 18. <br /> If we have any instructional motions (Article 3) they will be taken up last. <br /> ARTICLE 2: Motion made by Barry Berman, Board of Selectmen to take Article 2 off the table <br /> Motion Carried <br /> ARTICLE 2: To hear and act on the reports of the Board of Selectmen, School Committee, Library <br /> Trustees, Municipal Light Board, Finance Committee, Bylaw Committee, Town Manager, Town Accountant <br /> and any other Town Official, Board or Committee. <br /> Reports given by: <br /> State of the Town <br /> Barry Berman, Acting Chair Board of Selectmen <br /> Good Evening and thank you to Town Manager Bob LeLacheur, Superintendent Dr. John Doherty, <br /> members of the Reading School Committee, town and school staff, Town Meeting members, my <br /> colleagues on the Board, and neighbors here in the hall and watching at home on RCN. <br /> It is my honor to deliver, the first ever State of the Town address as Chair of the Reading Select Board. <br /> Before I summarize the events of the past year and outline the challenges and opportunities of this <br /> coming year, I want to recognize some new and returning faces to our town government family. <br /> Congratulations to Andrew Grimes and Alice Collins who return as Library Trustees. Congratulations also <br />
