BOURNE — Wastewater infrastructure and how to fund it, as well as the process for hiring a new police chief, topped the list of articles before Bourne residents at the annual and special town meetings Monday night.
Just over 200 people showed up to vote on the 20-articles slate at the spring sessions at the Bourne Middle School gym.
Water protection fund
In an 80-19 vote, town meeting voters gave permission to the Board of Selectmen to discuss updating the Cape Cod and Islands Water Protection Fund. Updating the fund would allow grants awarded the town to be used to help pay for costs associated with its intermunicipal sewer agreement with Wareham.
