Goodnow trustees keep EV charger article on May 6 Town Meeting warrant

SUDBURY -- April 2, 2024, Goodnow Library Trustees will defend EV charger warrant article at Sudbury Town Meeting May 6. Meeting without Library Director Esme, who was stranded in Columbus by a flight delay, trustees rejected the idea of pulling their article and instead pushed back on Finance Committee confusion over funding, noting the article allows money "by any means", solar revolving fund, free cash, town manager's budget or grants, not just free cash. The chair said Sustainability Coordinator Dani Marina King expects a firmer cost estimate within two to three weeks and that Eversource service must be expanded at the library site. Trustees also agreed to submit a letter of support for an April 24 farmers market grant application with Locally Grown Sudbury, and called for a review of library solicitation policy 4B4 after an email complaint about a recent forum. The next meeting is May 14.
