Warrant Committee Reviews Fire Station Project, Historic Building Rules
Warrant Committee · Meeting of March 2, 2026
MILTON — Warrant Committee defers recommendations on Atherton Fire Station and historic buildings article. Nicole Boyson Rukstalis explained the Special Purpose Debt Stabilization Fund, capped at $50 million, which would defer a new override until 2029 by rolling the fire station into a previously approved override; members requested clearer justification for the building's size and vehicle deployment strategy before voting. Ronald T.
Sia proposed friendly amendments to expand the historic buildings article beyond complete demolition to include moving structures and neglect, but committee members objected the article's 75-year-old threshold affects too many non-historic homes; Sia agreed to ask the Historic Commission for tighter definitions. Brian McGuire presented solar articles and agreed to research whether town ownership outweighs leasing. No votes were recorded on any article recommendation.
