The 2011 Annual Town Meeting Warrant Hearing will be held on Monday, March 28, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the Large Hearing Room in Wayland Town Building.  The hearing is an opportunity for residents to review the articles and ask questions of sponsors and advocates in advance of town meeting.  Those questions that can’t be answered at the hearing will be researched and information provided as town meeting.  It is our hope town meeting discussion is a lively, civil debate on the merits of each article rather than an exercise in information gathering that could be done in advance.  The informational nature of the Warrant Hearing, taken together with the option of electronic voting and the provision of additional information in the Warrant and on the Town’s website, should reduce the length of time needed to complete town meeting and result in greater attendance and more representative decisions.
