Voting procedures for $2.9M bond article

The commissioners agreed to meet at the Town Hall at 6:00 PM in case voters arrive early. No vote count is given. The session was adjourned without objection.

The Newfields Village Water & Sewer District held a work session on April 13, 2026. The Town Clerk told the commissioners and the moderator how voting will work on the $2.9M bond warrant article (a question voters decide) at the Annual District Meeting on April 27, 2026. She gave them a ballot box, voter cards and yes/no voting cards. The vote will be by secret ballot. The Supervisor of the Checklist (the list of registered voters) will check in voters, and only District members are on the list. The polls must stay open for 1 hour. After the polls close, the moderator will count the votes and announce the result. The vote must pass by 3/5 or the article fails. The public hearing notice wrongly said the Annual Meeting starts at 6:00 PM. It starts at 7:00 PM. The commissioners agreed to meet at the Town Hall at 6:00 PM in case any voters arrive then. The chair adjourned the session at 5:30 PM without objection.
