Dartmouth's fall Town Meeting has 17 questions, from a $1 million land deal to sewer pumps. Town officials walked members through the warrant at an Oct. 7 pre-Town Meeting session. Fall Town Meeting is set for Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. at Dartmouth High School.
A proposed $1.3 million line would keep New Bedford's Fire Station 9 open through the fiscal year. Gov. Maura Healey's new appropriations bill would also add New Bedford to the Municipal Public Safety Staffing Program, which helps 10 cities with police or fire staffing shortfalls.
Dartmouth's Fall Town Meeting warrant has 17 articles, including sewer aeration money, a police cruiser fee and a conservation purchase. Town Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 20.
Starting Thursday, Oct. 1, the Russells Mills Road/Paskamansett River Bridge in Dartmouth will carry new, lower weight limits following a Massachusetts Department of Transportation inspection.
