Voters will be asked to help purchase Wickets Island, rezone land near Walmart to allow for additional commercial development, and approve a new "junk bylaw" when fall Town Meeting convenes next Monday evening.

All registered voters are entitled to attend, participate and vote at the meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. on Oct. 26 in the Wareham High School auditorium.

The 33 articles on the warrant – Town Meeting's version of an agenda – tackle subjects ranging from liquor licenses, a bike path and rent control for mobile home parks, to routine requests for transferring money from one town account to another. The following are brief explanations of non-routine matters voters will decide.

The Community Preservation Committee is asking that the town spend $512,200 of Community Preservation Act funds on four separate projects. Raised through a surtax on properties assessed at more than $100,000 and supplemented by the state, CPA money must be used to fund open space acquisition, affordable housing, or historic preservation. Proposed this fall are:

Onset project: $400,000 would be contributed to the Buzzards Bay Coalition's Onset Bay Project to purchase Wickets Island. The total $2.5 million project would have the coalition also purchasing 20.4 acres of shoreline on Burgess Point and establishing a "public discovery center" in Onset.

Old District School #6: $34,200 would be used by the Wareham Historical Society to restore the Old District School #6 on Main Street.

Bryant Farm walking trail: $67,000  would be used to create a parking lot and a wheelchair accessible walking trail at Bryant Farm on Sandwich Road.

Swifts Beach playground: $11,000 would be used for an engineering plan for the redesign of the Joseph W. Conway playground at Swifts Beach.

Non-Community Preservation Fund issues to be brought before Town Meeting include:

Liquor licenses: Voters will be asked to petition the state Legislature to lift the restriction linking some liquor licenses to specific locations. If approved by the Legislature, the change would allow the transfer of a liquor license between establishments in two different parts of town.

Land on Fearing Hill Road: Voters will be asked to authorize Selectman to seek $675,000 in state, federal and private grant money to purchase 50.94 acres of land on Fearing Hill Road to be used in the creation of a bike path. Once completed, the path would connect with other bike paths, creating a continuous cyclers' route through town and onto similar paths in Bourne and Marion.

Town Clerk: Selectmen are asking that the now-elected position of Town Clerk be made appointed. They argue that the clerk's role is administrative and non-decision -- and requires skills that are better selected for in a hiring process than an election. Currently elected Town Clerk Mary Ann Silva says she has no objection to making the position appointed.

Youth summer work program: Town Administrator Derek Sullivan asks that town money be set aside to fund a 2016 youth summer work program which would provide young people with summer jobs cleaning up trash on beaches and elsewhere.

Rezoning: The owners of four separate lots on Tobey Road are asking that the land be rezoned from industrial to commercial. See separate story here.

Rent control for mobile home parks: A group of citizens is asking that the town create a rent control board to regulate rents in mobile home parks. While most residents of mobile home parks own their units, they pay rent to park owners for the lots on which their units sit. A favorable vote would still require that the request be approved by the state Legislature.

Junk bylaw: Voters will be asked to replace current regulations for businesses and organizations selling used goods with a new bylaw drawn up by the Junk Study Committee. The committee was formed after officials realized that the old bylaw required about 60 businesses to have licenses but capped the number of licenses at five.

Use of the Westfield property: Located on Charlotte Furnace Road in West Wareham near the Carver line, the 77-acre town property known as Westfield was targeted as the site for new, privately developed senior citizens' housing.  After much back-and-forth on how much of what kind of housing could be constructed on what is now open space, Town Meeting in 2010 agreed to put a project out to bid calling for 100 percent of the units to be affordable senior housing. Several attempts to lure developers yielded no takers. A vote next week would formally end efforts to use the land for senior housing.

Refurbishments at Decas Elementary: The town will be asked to borrow or transfer available funds under the direction of the School Committee to conduct a feasibility study assessing the need to partially replace the roof at Decas Elementary School, as well as replacement of the school’s boiler. Both the portion of the roof and the boiler are as old as the school itself. The town may be eligible for a grant from the Massachusetts School Building Authority based on the results of the study. The estimated cost of the study would be between $50,000 and $70,000.

Electricity Aggregation: The voters will be asked to proceed with plans to merge the town's electricity resources into a consortium with other communities participating in the Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District. The aim of entering into the consortium is to increase purchasing power for residents and businesses in attempt to acquire lower electricity rates.
