The permissive referendum process gives the community a chance to voice concerns or objections regarding the use of reserve funds. It is a key part of maintaining transparency and public involvement in local government spending.

As of now, no petition has been filed. If the 30-day window passes without action, the town will move forward with the equipment purchase to enhance the capabilities of its public works team.
