Committee over the next several months.
The Town's insurance carrier recommended that a bylaw be drafted
to clarify whose responsibility it is to report hazards in a
public way and to designate a timeframe during which a claim can
be filed. Ted Cohen should have one ready by fall.

for a one-time serving of wine in a public building of the Town
for the 350th Birthday Ball.
Peter asked the Committee to consider a joint meeting in the
fall to again review the proposed sidewalk clearing bylaw. He
referred to its success in other communities and feels strongly
that it could work here if properly presented to Town Meeting.
A.review of the Zoning Bylaw pertaining to signs is also expected
in the fall as CPDC is presently working on its modification.

Russell, seconded by Ed Murphy, were accepted by a vote of 4-0.

On motion of Jack Russell, seconded by Ed Murphy, it was voted to
retain Phil Pacino as Chairman and Dolores Carroll as Clerk.
This motion passed by a vote of 4-0.
The next meeting of the Bylaw Committee is scheduled for Wednesday,
