The Board of Selectmen expressed support for 13 of 26 agenda items to be voted on at next month's Town Meeting.

Some of the items include expending septic loan interest, transfers of funds, counting mobile homes as affordable housing, the establishment of a Zoning Study Committee and more.

“Let's just take off some of the 'easies',” said Chair Judith Whiteside as the Selectmen breezed through agenda items 6-8, 12-15, 18, and 21-25 on Tuesday.

According the Selectmen Peter Teitelbaum, the board no longer takes “favorable action” on the articles, but votes instead to recommend that the public vote to pass the articles.

Some of the articles were discussed at length at the board's previous meeting. Read about that here.

One article that was presented to the Board during their meeting would help the homeless if passed: article 15 - West Wareham Affordable Housing and Open Space.

The item seeks $635,000 in Community Preservation Funds for the purchase of property in West Wareham for the use of conservation and to house homeless individuals.

Pastor David Shaw from the Wareham Area Committee for the Homeless, Nicole Fitzgerald from Father Bill's & Mainspring and Kevin Bartsch from the Wareham Land Trust presented the project to Selectmen, seeking the board's support for the purchase of the property during October's Town Meeting.

All of the Selectmen voted to recommend the article after several expressed their support for the project.

Teitelbaum deemed the project "very worthwhile" while Patrick Tropeano told voters, "We should be happy to have them doing a project here for the folks that we have to deal with."

Chair Judith Whiteside reassured town voters that “there won't be any change of use” for the building, since it currently serves as an apartment building.

“There will be a change of ownership,” she said.
