Matters related to the CommitteeÈs role in the 2015 Annual Town Meeting and the associated Special Town Meetings: Ms. Manz asked the Committee to reconsider its 5Ã0 position recommending Town Meeting disapprove the Motion for a non-binding Resolution under Article 42, Commission on Disability Request. There was a further discussion involving all the members present. The outcome was to leave the position unchanged; however, the CommitteeÈs supplemental text in its report to those Town Meetings is to be updated explicitly to include that the imprecision of what is before Town Meeting is a factor that influenced the CommitteeÈs position.
