This from Town Clerk Kathy Nagle:
Town Meeting Candidates are still needed to fill available seats in Precincts E, F, G. For residents who vote at Fiske, Dana Hall or the Library those are the precincts that still need one or more candidates to fill the available seats. Of course, candidates are welcome to run in any precinct. Candidates must reside in Wellesley, but do not need to be registered voters.
Town Meeting Members will be making key decisions at the March 2016 Annual Town Meeting including decisions about annual operating budgets, capital funding for the proposed Tolles Parsons Senior Center, and many other important issues. The vitality of the town depends on an engaged group of citizens to participate in elective office. Please consider running for Town Meeting Member.
The commitment is to be aware of the issues in the town, to represent your precinct, and to attend the sessions of Town Meeting. Annual Town Meeting begins on the last Monday of March and meets on Mondays and Tuesday nights until the work is completed. This can be 4-8 sessions. Usually there is a Special Town Meeting in the Fall that may be one or more sessions.
Candidates must obtain nomination papers and 10 signatures of registered voters in their neighborhood. The deadline to obtain papers is February 5, 2016 at 5 pm.
Anyone who needs more information is invited to call Town clerk Kathy Nagle at 781-431-1019 ext 2250.
