Voters authorized the appropriation of $475,000 for Article 15 to fund public, educational, and governmental (PEG) access services for the coming year. The funding supports Marshfield Community Media, the non-profit organization responsible for recording and broadcasting public meetings, including Town Meeting.

Select Board member S. Darcy emphasized that this is a housekeeping article and does not impact the general tax fund. The $475,000 is sourced entirely from cable franchise fees collected from residents' cable bills. Advisory Board member P. Simmonelli praised the organization for its professional work and its role in maintaining transparency by providing residents with access to local government proceedings.

Motion: To appropriate $475,000 for PEG access services from cable franchise revenue.

Vote: Passed
