Also, at that time, Districts 1 and 3 will be accepting nominations to fill town meeting member vacancies for 1 year.

District 1 has ten seats to appoint and District 3 has six seats to appoint.

    30 minutes

    “At 6:30 p.m., town meeting members of each district will be available to meet with constituents to offer residents an opportunity to share their views and discuss articles to be voted on at the annual meeting.”

    Assuming it starts and ends on time, there are 30 minutes to learn who all the reps are, find out how they plan to vote on each issue, have a discussion of any issues that require depth and debate, offer up non-rep advice and input, and squeeze in nominations and votes for new district members.

    (This is before most reps know much of anything about the warning, which is explained after the caucus.)

    Yeah, 30 minutes. That seems about the right amount of time… : )
