CONWAY — The town's charter commission voted nearly unanimously last Wednesday to approve a new town charter that replaces the board of selectmen with a town council, reduces the size of the budget committee from 17 to 13 and gives the council authority to approve bonds up to $2 million without voter approval.
Also, in an effort to reduce the size of the ballot — which this year included 55 separate articles — some routine expenditures, like funding capital reserve accounts, will be included in the operating budget.
