Wednesday, June 29, 1994
7:30 p.m. Meeting called to order in the Berger Room in Town
Hall.
Members present: Jack Russell, Phil Pacino, Ed Murphy and
Dolores Carroll.
On motion of Jack Russell, seconded by Ed Murphy, Minutes #214
were accepted, as read, by a vote of 2-0-1.
On motion of Jack Russell, seconded by Ed Murphy, Minutes #219
were accepted, as read, by a vote of 4-0.
First order of business was the reappointment, by Moderator
Paul Dustin, of Jack Russell and Ed Murphy to the Bylaw
Committee.
Information, prepared by Town Meeting Members Jim Keigley and
Jim Biller, was distributed detailing reasons why amending
Section 2.1.1 of the General Bylaws, by changing the Town
Election to June, would create greater citizen participation.
Committee members disagreed, but will schedule a meeting for
further discussion.
Moderator Paul Dustin requested the Committee's views on
several matters. The first being the starting time of Town
Meeting, which the Committee agrees should begin promptly at
7:30 p.m.
Another is amendments to Zoning and General Bylaws made from
the floor of Town Meeting. Paul believes these amendments
alter the intent of the bylaw and should be voted up or down.
If voted in the negative, returned to the process for further
deliberation before returning to Town Meeting.
For the coming year, both Phil Pacino and Dolores Carroll have
agreed to continue as Chairman and Clerk of the Bylaw
Committee.
Next meeting to be held on Wednesday, September 14, 1994.
8:15 p.m. Meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Dolores S. Carroll
Clerk
