Town Meeting info: The official warrant articles that will be voted on at the town meeting will be available for pick up until May 13th at the Town Clerk’s Office Monday-Thursday from 8 am - 3 pm or on the town news section of our website townofotisma.com. The warrant will also be available at the town meeting. Just a reminder we will be using clickers to vote at the town meeting. If you have any questions about the clickers please reach out and I can answer them.
Parking for town meeting will be at the Farmington River School and at the Otis Highway Garage. Those who are carpooling can meet and leave vehicles at the Otis Town Hall but there will not be a bus shuttle service from this location. Mr. Chris and Mrs. Heidi will be our wonderful bus shuttle drivers and they will be shuttling voters from the highway garage to the school. The shuttles will stop running promptly at 7pm. Please plan to be early for this meeting. Voters can start arriving and checking in at the school beginning at 6pm. When the meeting is over and for your safety, we would prefer you not walk on Route 8 back to the highway garage. The bus shuttles will be running again or you can carpool down.
