The Revitalization of Town Park is still moving forward. Although this was the only article of 30 to receive an unfavorable vote from Fin-com you as the citizens can pass the motion at town meeting Tuesday May 16th and have this project go to the ballot. This is the time to speak up and voice your vote to get some of our fields up to par. This project timing may not be ideal and the park commission understands not everyone is in support but lets let the majority decide.
Per Fin-com:
An unfavorable FinCom recommendation does not mean that the article will be passed over - it's a recommendation provided to the public for additional context.
Even with an unfavorable recommendation from the FinCom, the article will still be brought up at the town meeting and put before the public. FinCom recommendations are an advisory function and they indicate an expression of support like you suggested, they're not an arbitration of which articles make it onto the Warrant.
In the packet that town meeting attendees receive, they'll see a note under the article to inform them of what kind of action the FinCom recommends on the article - they're free to take that recommendation or not to.
