The few people with flood insurance in town will lose their policies in July, and the town will become ineligible for some federal disaster grants now that voters have rejected the new flood maps.
Monday s town meeting flew through the four articles on the special town meeting including a $68.7 million operating budget, a special fund to hold fees collected from marijuana dispensaries, a policy to use the money and authorization to spend $96,000 in marijuana revenues on two new police cruisers.
Residents also approved $380,000 in general funds for road upgrades and $120,000 in general funds for a new police department roof.
When town meeting reached new flood maps and zoning bylaws, the town meeting ground to a halt. Passing the articles is required by the federal government for the town and town residents to continue to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program.
