The referendum passed 192 to 134.
Absentee ballots are available in the Town Clerk’s office during normal business hours (8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. today through Thursday; 8:30 a.m.-noon on Friday; and 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Monday). Requests must be made in person and will only be issued for the individual making the request, except in the case of illness rendering the applicant unable to appear. Details are available through the Town Clerk’s office.
The special town meeting adjourning to referendum (similar to the process we follow for the approval of our annual town and Region 7 budgets in May) is a statutory requirement and does not allow for public discussion of (or a vote on) the referendum question.
Unlike municipal, state and federal elections, any property owner with $1,000 in assessed value is eligible to vote on December 10th.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or contact Town Clerk Debi McKeon at dmckeon@colebrooktownhall.org<mailto:dmckeon@colebrooktownhall.org>.
Cordially,
Brad Brad Bremer Colebrook First Selectman 860.379.3359 ext. 202 bbremer@colebrooktownhall.org
