“I’m thrilled to be here and look forward to working with the board,” Constable said, noting that she has an open-door policy. There was a round of applause from the audience following her remarks.

The select board signed the warrant for the Aug. 31 special town meeting, which will feature 10 warrant articles ranging from appropriating money for emergency repairs to the Memorial Middle School to whether to allow the sale of recreational marijuana in Hull.

A copy of the warrant will be mailed to every Hull household prior to the meeting and will include the advisory board’s recommendations. For some articles, the board may announce its decisions that night. Voters have the final say.

The articles include proposals to:

⦁ Appropriate approximately $300,000 to pay for recently discovered repairs that are needed at the Memorial Middle School;

⦁ Allow accessory dwelling units in single-family homes under certain circumstances (see related story);

⦁ Appropriate roughly $120,000 to pay for DPW equipment;

⦁ Allow the consolidation of certain “housekeeping” articles into a single vote to allow time for discussion of more important issues;

⦁ Allow the sale of recreational marijuana through a citizens’ petition submitted on behalf of the Alternative Compassion Services medical marijuana dispensary on George Washington Boulevard;

⦁ Adjust Hull’s wetlands protection rules and increase fees to help cover the cost of administration of the Wetlands Protection Act, and to double the fees for after-the-fact work that requires a permit or review;

⦁ Appropriate roughly $600,000 to cover increases in the cost of restoring the Fort Revere water tower, supplementing an earlier town meeting appropriation of $2.2 million for this work;

⦁ Authorize the select board to petition for an act of special legislation granting the town an additional package store license for the Quick Pick Food Shop on Nantasket Avenue (subject to select board approval if the legislation passes).
