As the Committee members present had been previously advised of the special conditions of this meeting, he passed on repeating them (i.e., the authority to not require a physical presence of a quorum and other selected terms under the Open Meeting Law in legislation signed on June 16th of this year by Massachusetts Governor Charles D. Baker). Mr. Lamb advised that materials provided electronically to the Committee or presented at the meeting, would be available upon request and are those listed in the Minutes as Documents Presented. Any votes during this meeting would be taken by a roll call. Further, this meeting would be recorded to assist in preparing Minutes, and the recording would be deleted once the Minutes are approved. Mr. Lamb announced that this meeting will be addressing this ATM's Article 12(a) and primarily a discussion with Mr. Daggett regarding the Amendment he proposes. Mr. Lamb completed a roll-call attendance, determining that six members were present. Mr. Lamb invited Mr. Daggett to explain his reasons for his Amendment. Mr. Daggett's Proposed Amendment to Article 12(a) Including discussion with Committee members, Mr. Daggett explained first that the previous actions, which started about five years ago and addressed many aspects of the zoning applicable to Hartwell Avenue, but for unknown reasons never finished the work to accomplish that formal identification of it being a Hartwell Innovation Park instead of its current identification of a District. Therefore, he is opposed to creating, at this time, any signage which uses that title to brand that area. Several members said they saw a benefit of doing the branding notwithstanding the lack of the formal naming. Page 1 of 2
