A Proposition 2-1/2 override, a new high school roof, a "transfer of development rights" zoning bylaw, and funding to restore old town buildings are among the issues that will come before Town Meeting beginning Monday night.

The meeting convenes at 7 p.m., April 28, in the Wareham High School auditorium. All registered Wareham voters are eligible to participate and vote.

In an unusual move, town officials are presenting voters with two 2015 budgets. A balanced budget, making deep cuts in town and school services, would be funded within the confines of tax-limiting Proposition 2-1/2. A second budget, still including some cuts relative to 2014 spending, would use $4.5 million of additional tax money from a proposed Proposition 2-1/2 override. For more info on the two budgets, see our latest story on them here.

The proposed transfer of development rights bylaw would allow "private owners to separate their right to develop their land and basically sell it to another property owner in certain parts of town," said Grant King, a planner with the Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District.

A landowner could make money and preserve open space by selling his development rights to a landowner in a more residential part of town. The landowner would have a permanent conservation restriction placed on his land, prohibiting development now or in the future.

Voters will also be asked to fund a new roof for the high school, which is more than 20 years old and has many tears and leaks.

The high school was one of six schools in the state that the Massachusetts School Building Authority chose over the summer for its "accelerated repair program," which reimburses districts for 68 percent of the cost of projects it approves.

That means the project, which will cost no more than $2.7 million, could receive up to $1.8 million from the state. For more on the school roof, see our story here and check out this video of a tour on the roof.

The warrant will also include articles asking voters to approve Community Preservation funds for a number of different projects.

Specifically, voters will be asked to appropriate $11,000 for an engineering survey of the Onset Bath House, which we covered here, $29,000 for restoration of the Wareham Little League complex, $25,000 to complete the preservation of the Old Town Hall (now occupied by WCTV), $35,000 to provide safe flooring for the elderly and handicap residents of Agawam Village and $59,000 to replace underground plumbing at Agawam Village.

With dozens of articles on the warrant and many of them expected to be controversial, it is anticipated that Town Meeting will extend into at least a second night. If so, that second night will likely be Tuesday, April 29.
