To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives,

 

Pursuant to the provisions of Article II, Section 8, Paragraph 1, Clause (2) of the Amendments to the Constitution, as appearing in Article LXXXIX of said Amendments, I am filing for your consideration the attached legislation entitled, “An Act Validating Actions Taken by the Town of Templeton at the Annual Town Meeting Held on May 14, 2016.”

The Templeton SelectBoard has requested that I file this special legislation on behalf of the Town of Templeton. 

The Town discovered recently that it had not met a certain local by-law requiring that capital improvement projects be considered by the Capital Improvements Committee before they are presented at Town Meeting.  This legislation would validate the actions taken at the Annual Town Meeting held on May 14, 2016, allowing bond financing for the Pleasant Street Sewer Pump Station to proceed.

I urge your early and favorable consideration of this bill.

Respectfully submitted,

 

Charles D. Baker,

Governor
