3b) Regarding the jurisdictions listed in 3a),obtaining information about experiences in those jurisdictions. Assigned to: Vicki agreed to take the lead role on this issue. 4. One-to-one meetings. Dan noted that, following comments made at the SB Meeting, it was evident that one-to-one meetings were necessary with Jim Malloy, Dave Pinsonneault (head of the DPW), and the acting police chief. Amongst other issues, it will be important to discuss the mechanics of enforcing proposed noise regulations with Jim Malloy and representatives of the local police. It will also be important to understand the position of the Town's DPW in relation to whether and how Town maintenance staff will utilize electric equipment in the future. In particular, the Committee discussed the issue of managing the clean-up of large pieces of property (Town- owned and private property) where the sole use of battery powered equipment may have an impact on productivity and could require more resources (e.g. for the Town—increased staffing). Nick queried whether other communities with GLB bans had exempted their own DPWs from the regulations. Vicki suggested that it may be useful to arrange a meeting between Dave Pinsonneault and electric-only landscaper George Carrette to discuss large pieces of land. During the landscaper input sessions, George indicated that he currently provides landscape services for a parcel greater than 10 acres in an adjacent Town and was able to use electric equipment without difficulty. The Committee agreed that the positions of Town management on these issues will need to be solicited ahead of finalizing the Committee's proposal. Assigned to: Dan agreed to seek meetings with Town personnel to obtain feedback on these issues. 5. Arranging mailings publicizing the state of the proposal and the initial fall meeting(s). Assigned to: Dan agreed to take the lead on this item.
