Meeting with Board of Public Works
M. O'Brien reported on meeting with Board of Public Works on
Jan. 16, 1978. Board of Public Works was mostly interested in
changes mandated by Chapter 808. They were also concerned about
the number of Articles we were presenting at this town meeting
and also felt the minimum lot requirements in A-1 Residential
should be 15,000 sq ft instead of 10,000 sq ft.
The Board of Public Works was reminded that information was
requested from them and other Boards a number of months ago and it
is too late now to include some of their requests especially since
t
they do not seem critical at this time.
Town Offices - Departmental Staffing Needs
Board of Selectmen felt this should be done by a joint committee
as mentioned in last meetings minutes.
Bob Mayerson has drawn up staffing projections titled Depart-
mental Staffing, dated 1/23/78 for a 5, 10 & 20 year projection.
It was felt a committee of three, 1 from Planning Board, 1
from Fin Com and l from Board of Selectmen to meet with other Boards
and Depts. to determine their future personnel needs so we can plan
future office space needs for this personnel. M. O'Brien will write
a letter to above committees or Boards requesting they choose a
member for this study.
