Three ballot questions passed in Truro election. This is the one that didn't pass.

The results of Thursday's special town election in Truro saw three ballot questions approved and one not approved, according to the town clerk's office.

All four measures, seeking spending permissions above state taxation limits, had passed at the May 4 annual town meeting. Positive votes at both the town meeting and the town election are required for the measures to go forward.

Spending on a Truro Central School HVAC system and roof repairs passed, with 416 in favor and 66 against. Also spending on a public works facility design and engineering at a Town Hall Hill site passed. The vote was 384 in favor and 97 against. Spending on Mill Pond tidal restoration and drainage improvements also passed, the with 408 in favor and 73 against. This includes replacing a failed 36-inch culvert on Mill Pond Road.

Voters turned against spending for a human resource coordinator position for $113,158 annually, with a vote of 224 in favor and 256 against.

"It's an important position," Truro Select Board chair Susan Areson said Monday of the human resources job. The board wants to create the position and will likely convene with the town manager to decide next steps, Areson said.
