At our next regular March Town Meeting in Wilmington, there most likely will be a vote on whether or not to remove the pergola from its current location in the center of town. This vote will take place either on the floor during the meeting, or in the booth during normal polling hours (Australian ballot).Taking the vote by Australian ballot would also allow for the use of absentee ballots.
By law, the only way we can have this vote by Australian ballot is to vote, as a town, in advance, that that is how we will take the vote. The Australian ballot question will be voted on at a special Town Meeting in the Twin Valley High gymnasium on Tuesday, November 10, at 7 pm.
No matter how you feel about the pergola, if you may not be able to attend the regular March meeting, but would still like to have a say on the issue, please attend the November 10 meeting.
