This question involves amendment of the Town?s acceptance of G.L. c.44B, ??3-7, also known as the Community Preservation Act (the ?Act?) to adopt an additional exemption. The Act allows municipalities to impose a surcharge on real property to establish a dedicated source of funds for the three purposes of the Act: open space, including land for recreational use; historic resources; and community housing. Williamstown initially accepted the Act at the 2001 Annual Town Meeting and 2002 Annual Town Election, setting the surcharge at 2% of the annual tax assessed on real property. The Town also adopted an exemption for the first $100,000 of the value of each taxable parcel of residential real property. The Town also receives an annual distribution from the Massachusetts Community Preservation Trust Fund that supplements the funds collected by the Town. The Community Preservation Committee, created by bylaw, makes recommendations to Town Meeting for expenditures under the Act, which, at a minimum must annually include that at least 10% of the funds be spent or reserved for later spending for each of the three purposes of the Act. The May 23, 2024 Annual Town Meeting voted under Article 35 to accept another exemption from the Act, G.L. c.44B, ?3(e)(1), for any property owned and occupied as a domicile by a person who would qualify for low income housing or low or moderate income senior housing in Williamstown. Low income housing is defined, in part, as, ?housing for those persons and families whose annual income is less than 80 per cent of the areawide median income? as determined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Low or moderate income senior housing is defined as ?housing for those persons having reached the age of 60 or over who would qualify for low or moderate income housing.?
