This <br />report supplemented the Warrant for the 1985 Annual <br />Town Meeting with relevant data on each article ex- <br />cept for rezonings, and included both general and <br />specific comments on the operating budget. A detail <br />map showed the location of each site subject to pro- <br />posed changes <br />The TMMA also held an information meeting and bus <br />tour in advance of formal deliberations by town <br />meeting. In addition, volunteers of the TMMA obser- <br />ver corps attended meetings of major town boards and <br />called attention to issues of interest to town meet- <br />ing members. <br />Some 1985 highlights: <br />1. An attempt to change the TMMA bylaws, to <br />bring them into conformity with practice, <br />allowing all town meeting members to vote for <br />precinct officers, as well as allowing TMMA <br />officers to be elected from the general town <br />meeting membership. <br />2. Efforts to get information about articles to <br />town meeting members earlier, to make discussion <br />and voting more efficient. <br />3. Meeting with chairmen of committees to get <br />reports about what is happening now and in the <br />future. <br />TMMA is a voluntary association open to all members <br />of the town meeting. Its primary purpose is to <br />provide information to members in order to ensure <br />that town meeting operates efficiently, with enlight- <br />ened decisions. The association is directed by its <br />executive committee, which meets on the second Wed- <br />nesday of each month. The TMMA also has various <br />committees to survey specific problem areas and <br />report to members. <br />The 1985 -86 Executive Committee <br />Chairman - Graydon Wheaton <br />Vice Chairman - Roger Borghesani <br />Clerk /Secretary - Kate Fricker <br />Treasurer - Karen Dooks <br />Precinct <br />Chairman <br />Clerk <br />One <br />Patricia Hagedorn <br />John Maloney <br />Two <br />Karen Dooks <br />Christina Welch <br />Three <br />Jacqueline Davison <br />Marian Reilly <br />Four <br />Peter Kelley <br />Kate Fricker <br />Five <br />Paul Hamburger <br />Diran Semonian <br />Six <br />Elizabeth Haines <br />Lizabeth White <br />Seven <br />Winifred Friedman <br />Graydon Wheaton <br />Eight <br />Benjamin Golini <br />Florence Connor <br />Nine <br />Eleanor Klauminzer <br />Deborah Green <br />Associate <br />James A.
