Residents may be able to pay their taxes and other fees with plastic if a warrant authorizing the town’s officials to accept payment by credit card is ratified at the Feb. 7 deliberative session of Town Meeting at 9 a.m. in the Golden Brook School.

If voters pass the warrant article on to the ballot as is and it passes in March, selectmen are authorized to hold a public hearing to determine which specific types of fees credit cards could be used to pay with and whether to impose any maximum transaction limits. The board will also have the go-ahead to negotiate a processing agreement with an outside credit card processor.

Selectmen are also looking for the approval of an $960,000 appropriation for the construction of a highway complex, which would include a salt shed, next to the transfer station. The purchase of a $155,000 ambulance for the fire department will also be presented before voters.

The board is also asking taxpayers to consider an appropriation of $176,000 for the final costs associated with the engineering, designing and construction of improvements and renovations to the Windham Depot area, predicated on an 80 percent reimbursement by the state, leaving $28,000 to the taxpayers.

Voters will have the opportunity to weigh in on a petitioned warrant article by Wayne Morris calling on the town to raise a further $5 million in bonds for the purchase of farmland to be turned into conservation land.

Selectmen are also asking for approval of the town’s $12.3 million operating budget for next year. Were residents to approve the budget as worded on Saturday, but vote it down in March, the town’s default operating budget is $12 million.
