BY -LAW COMMITTEE MINUTES #118
November 9, 1987
Members present: Ed Murphy, George Theophanis,
Nils Nordberg, Philip Pacino and
Dolores Carroll
Meeting held prior to Subsequent Town Meeting.
Continuation of Philip Pacino's Minutes.
7:25 After discussion of Articles 6, 7 and 8, members
adjourned to meet with the Selectmen to discuss Plan of
Organization for Town Government.
Nils questioned the Board of Library Trustees placement
on the Plan and was told by Peter that the Library has
odd status in the Charter per Town Counsel. Has to go
through Personnel system for purchases; approval of
bills. Library Trustees act like the Board of
Selectmen. Library has had ongoing discussions over
the past several months. They are not a policy making
authority, others are.
Board of Assessors are policy making body; their staff
come under Finance.
Peter was asked if Code Enforcement included the
Building Inspector and he said that it did.
I pointed out to Peter that the Board of Registrars is
not a policy making body. That elections do not come
under them - Town Clerk has full responsibility. All
they do is certify signatures and sign voter
Registration Forms.
There is a Statute that states that they should not
work an election, because if they do and there is a
recount, they have to excuse themselves.
Mollie Ziegler mentioned that a Registrar works in the
Clerk's office on election nights, but was told that it
was for phone coverage only.
Peter made a motion that the Plan of Organization be
accepted as changed (with the circle surrounding the
Board of Registrars removed). All Selectmen voted in
favor.
