February 21, 1990
Members present: Ed Murphy, George Theophanis, Nils Nordberg, Dolores Carroll
and Phil Pacino
Guest present: Peter Hechenbleikner, Town Manager
7:31 Meeting called to order in the conference room of the Town Hall.
Minutes #168 were approved by a vote of 4-0-1.
Chairman Murphy reported that the recodified bylaws would be
distributed in binder form in the future in order to allow a better means of
updating the bylaws for future changes.
The committee discussed a draft bylaw article that would create a Land
Use Committee that would report to Town Meeting with recommendations on town
meeting warrant articles that deal with land issues. It was felt that Town
Meeting is lacking in some areas when dealing with land issue articles. This
committee would assist Town Meeting to gain a fuller understanding of land
issue articles and to look at articles submitted to Town Meeting to ensure
that they are in the proper form and context. The committee would act similar
to the Finance Committee and the Bylaw Committee. The committee agreed to
study the matter further and to send a copy of the draft bylaw to the Finance
Committee, CPDC, Moderator and the Selectmen for their comments.
The Town Manager reviewed with the committee the publication of the
recodified bylaws.
Chairman Murphy read a memo to the committee from the CPDC.
The committee then reviewed the Annual Town Meeting Warrant to
determine what articles it will need to take action on.
9:20 Meeting adjourned until March 7, 1990 at 7:30.
Respectfully submitted,
Philip B. Pacino, Clerk
