NOISE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES 13 December 2011 A duly posted meeting of the Noise Advisory Committee (NAC), held in the Ellen Stone Room, Cary Hall, was called to order at 7:30 pm by Chairman Tony Galaitsis with members Jack Maloney, Bob Earsy, Mary Hosmer Fanucci, and Planning Board liaison Richard Canale present. The NAC covered the topics as listed in the 12/12/11 agenda, namely: New Members Update Reviewed the 11 / 10/2011 membership list that was sent by Lynne Pease. A revised list reflecting the updated composition of the NAC will be available by the next meeting. Minutes of previous meeting (8/9/11) The 8/9/11 meeting minutes were reviewed and approved unanimously. Discussion of Proposed Revisions to Committee Charge The revised charge to the NAC, proposed by the Selectmen, was reviewed and discussed. The main differences from the original charge were a) The suggested reduction of members from 11 to 7, and b) The future appointment of Town Board members to the NAC as "liaisons" only. Given that the near -term membership is anticipated to be 5, a committee member asked a) Whether the revised membership of 7 would require quorum would be 3 or 4, and b) Whether the revised membership wording could be "up to 7 members ". The chairman would seek clarification on this matter. Discussion of proposed Noise -By -Law Update Copies of the Lexington and Belmont Noise By -Laws (NBLs) were distributed. They were briefly skimmed and assigned as reading homework for discussion in subsequent meetings. The meeting was adjourned at about 8:50 pm. Minutes submitted by Tony Galaitsis
