Bill Summary
Relative to amending the charter of the town of Nantucket. Municipalities and Regional Government. [Local Approval Received.]
AI Summary
This bill amends the charter for the town of Nantucket to grant the Select Board (the town's governing body) certain powers previously reserved for the Town Meeting. Specifically, the bill allows the Select Board to acquire real estate and fund capital projects at the Nantucket Airport, subject to a voter petition process that allows Town Meeting to veto such actions. The bill also establishes a new section 3.6 in the charter, which authorizes the Select Board, at the request of the Nantucket Airport Commission, to appropriate, borrow, or transfer funds to benefit the airport, as long as certain conditions are met and the town residents do not petition to veto the funding. This change is intended to help the airport qualify for available grants and loans.
