Friedmann inquired the reason for <br />receiving two sets of minutes. DiLauro stated one was the original and the second copy <br />contained an edited version. He had received a request from Delios offering a correction to <br />what she stated at the meeting as follows: "Delios expressed concern about the added <br />restrictions having a potential negative Impact on the business community. She reiterated <br />the Board of Selectmen's goal of increasing Economic Development opportunities; especially <br />in light of budget constraints". <br />Friedmann stated his belief that corrections to Board of Health (BOH) minutes should occur <br />within BOH review. LeLacheur disagreed stating minutes should be corrected as soon as <br />possible. Costigan read aloud each version of the paragraph in question. After further <br />discussion, Shurland made a motion to accept the minutes with revision as follows: Delios <br />expressed concern about the added restrictions having a potential negative impact on the <br />business community. She reiterated the Board of Selectmen's goal of increasing Economic <br />Development opportunities and expressed concern that the BOS were not sufficiently <br />informed. She also stated that the Town needs income and if it does not receive more <br />income, there will be budget cuts and layoffs. Wilson responded that tobacco related Jobs <br />are low-wage and don't bring in much money for the Town. Motion was seconded by <br />Costigan. Motion passed 3:0 <br />Page I 1 <br />
