Requested by:
(Inserted at the request of Barbara Thornton and ten registered voters) 

Report Excerpt:
The Select Board supports an invitation being extended to the Arlington Housing Authority (“AHA”), but notes that neither it, nor Town Meeting have any authority to require AHA, which is governed by the State’s Department of Housing and Community Development, not the Town. The Board urges no action because the Town Moderator, present at hearing, advised the proponent and the Board that he will extend an invitation to AHA this year and every following year.

Vote Language:

 That no action be taken on Article 84.
