During a meeting that ended as election results started rolling in, Selectmen heard a presentation on the Minot Forest Elementary School improvements and John W. Decas Elementary feasibility study, as well as proposed changes in the wetlands by-law.

These items are on the warrant for the Town Meeting on April 25, where residents will vote for or against items that deal directly with the town’s money.

The Massachusetts State Building Authority has granted up to a 70.1 percent reimbursement for the cost of roof repairs and boiler replacements at Decas Elementary School. With a total project cost at approximately $2.3 million, Wareham would vote upon providing approximately $690,009 in town funds for improvements.

The town will also vote on whether or not to approve amendments to the wetlands bylaw.

“Each individual lot in a subdivision is going to be required to file its own notice of intent and then receive its own order of conditions,” said Selectman Peter Teitelbaum. “[Each lot will] eventually receive its own certificate of compliance, which gets recorded on the registry of deeds.”

The second major change, said Teitelbaum, is to an exemption to the “no activity zone.” The proposed change is a “general allowance of a path, no wider than five feet, or a boardwalk no wider than three feet” which will take care of anyone who would like shoreline access but is unable to because of wetlands, according to Teitelbaum.

There will be public hearings regarding the reorganization of two departments during Selectmen meetings on April 12 and 19. The location is unknown, but the Wareham Middle School Auditorium was suggested. This would combine the Planning Board and the Community and Economic Development Authority. The warrant for Town Meeting can be found online.

In other news, a small celebration recognizing outgoing board member Steven Holme’s service as a Selectman will be held next week.
