***************************************REPORTS*************************************
Mr. Canale, the town representative to Metropolitan Area Planning Council, said that at the last meeting
there was a change to the charter allowing each town to have an alternate. We have 1 of 125 votes and
there are three council meetings annually. The alternate can be a Board of Selectmen, Town Manager or

determination. The Board favored a member of the Planning Staff.
