Introductory Remarks Dan convened the meeting at 7:00 pm and noted that the agenda would include an update on progress by the Committee ahead of the November Special Town Meeting (TM). Dan noted that he had a productive discussion with Interim Police Chief Mike McLean regarding the potential enforcement of the pending noise bylaw. Mike was completely positive on the issue of enforcing the bylaw and noted that it will amount to continuation of what the police department already does in relation to construction noise. Mark suggested that the Committee may wish to defer any questions on enforcement to Mike during its presentation at TM. Dan also advised that he is scheduled to speak at the Board of Health during its next monthly meeting. An endorsement of the proposal by the Board ahead of the TM would be helpful. Mark suggested that Dan speak to Joe Pato on the issue of how a Board endorsement might be raised and incorporated into the TM process in November. 2.
