Ms. Page explained that the Board of Selectmen (BOS) are changing their name to <br />Select Board. They will be asking Town Meeting to amend the general by-laws to reflect the <br />name change. They are also asking the Planning Board and Town Meeting to amend the zoning <br />by-laws to reflect the name change. Specific locations in the document would be identified using <br />the search and find feature. Board Members felt that this was a good language change. <br />Public Comments: <br /> No problem with concept, but have a problem with the way they plan to implement it. <br />Removing the term Board of Selectmen completely could run afoul of state law. <br />Individual Board Members comments: <br /> The actual motion will have to be more careful because sometimes we use Selectmen <br />instead of Board of Selectmen. <br /> Staff was asked to inquire where in the by-law these changes would occur. <br />On a motion of Mr. Hornig, seconded by Mr. Canale, it was voted, 5-0, to close to the public <br />hearing at 7:14 p.m. <br /> <br />Proposed Zoning Amendment to reasonably regulate land uses protected by Mass.
