Dalton Puts HVAC on Hold, OKs Conservation Agent

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — Voters approved all but one of the four articles on the warrant at the special town meeting that was held on Wednesday at Nessacus Regional Middle School. 
 
More than 40 registered voters attended the meeting, which lasted half an hour, to vote on decreasing fiscal year debt exclusion, amending the cannabis bylaws, and transferring funds for a conservation agent and a heating, air conditioning, and ventilation system at Town Hall.
 
An article that many thought would be a highly discussed article turned out not to be the case.
Voters approved taking no action on Article 2, which would have transferred $350,000 from capital stabilization for the HVAC system in the police station and main floor of town hall.
 
The decision was made after the Select Board recommended voters take no action on this article.
 
The reason was explained during a Select Board meeting an hour prior to the special town meeting. 
 
During that meeting, Town Manager Thomas Hutcheson recommended that they postpone the vote on the HVAC system because of a recent development in the preliminary cost estimate which was not available during last Wednesday's Finance Committee meeting. 
 
Hutcheson said he received an updated preliminary estimate of about $858,000 for both the police station, in the basement of Town Hall, and the main floor.
