3.3.2022 Special Fall River City Council Meeting

The Fall River City Council held a special meeting on March 3, 2022, to address Mayor Paul E. Coogan's veto of a previous vote regarding the construction of a new Diamond Regional Vocational Technical High School. The Mayor's veto was based on his belief that any city debt obligation exceeding $5 million requires ratification by a majority of voters, and the prior council vote did not include a provision for such a city-wide vote. He proposed a special election on April 11, 2022, with a ballot question to approve the project and authorize its funding via a Proposition 2 ½ debt exclusion.
