At this time, a quorum should be present.

At our next meeting Chairman Murphy would like the Committee to address issues which Peter had previously left for our comments. -2- George Theophanis presented the Committee with a warrant article he had prepared for the Annual Town Meeting entitled "Land Use Committee." In the process of reviewing this article, a question was raised as to the expiration date of said Committee.

Amendments will have to be placed on a future warrant for correction. 8:48 p.m. Meeting adjourned. Next meeting to be held on Wednesday, February 21, 1990. Respectfully submitted, r Dolores S. Carroll
