A feasibility study has taken place and I am looking forward to hearing the results. Although my precinct does not reside on the west side of town, I have heard from residents or family members who reside in or near that precinct and this is a priority for them. Brenton Spencer: The top priorities for Saugus in this year’s town meeting is to make sure all town departments and the school department are fully funded. To fund the stabilization fund as the main financial reserve, this money can be used for town emergencies. A strong stabilization fund will help maintain a strong bond rating for the town. To come up with a plan to fund the new Northeast Vocational School and a new third fire station. To make sure that taxpayers dollars are spent wisely, productively, and efficiently. Ronald Wallace: By far the most important issue for me is the cemetery expansion. The dog park should be below this on the priority scale. Just my opinion. Saugus needs to provide cemetery plots for residents. I myself being a lifelong resident would like to be buried in my hometown.
