AMHERST Petitioners seeking to overturn the Town Council’s decision in favor of the $36.3 million project to renovate and expand the Jones Library fell just short of collecting enough signatures to initiate a voter veto, according to a tally completed by the town clerk’s office Wednesday.
A memo issued by Brianna Sunryd, the town’s communications manager, states that 842 signatures were certified as valid on the voter veto petitions, 22 signatures below the 864 needed to initiate a process that would force the Town Council to reconsider its April 5 vote to authorize $15.75 million in borrowing for the project. Of the 13 councilors, 10 voted in favor, two voted against and one abstained.
