Member Concerns and Liaison Reports: Mr. Kanter reported that at the Board of
SelectmenÈs meeting earlier this evening, in regard to Reconsiderations at the 2015 Annual
Town Meeting, that Board decided:
(1) To move for Reconsideration of Article 11(q) (Parking Meter Replacement) and, if
that prevails, plans to offer an amended Motion along the lines of what is described in the
Memo he circulated that had been presented at that meeting, and
(2) Not to move for Reconsideration of Article 11(a) (Center Streetscape Improvements
and EasementsÄPhase 1) and to take an approach along the lines described in the Town
Manager/DPW Director/Town Engineer memo to that Board that had previously been made
available in the packet released last Friday for its meeting last evening.
Matters related to the CommitteeÈs role in the 2015 Annual Town Meeting and the
associated Special Town Meetings: Ms. Manz asked the Committee to reconsider its 5Ã0
position recommending Town Meeting disapprove the Motion for a non-binding Resolution
under Article 42, Commission on Disability Request. There was a further discussion
involving all the members present. The outcome was to leave the position unchanged;
however, the CommitteeÈs supplemental text in its report to those Town Meetings is to be
updated explicitly to include that the imprecision of what is before Town Meeting is a factor
that influenced the CommitteeÈs position.
CommitteeÈs Reports to those Town Meetings: Mr. Kanter led the Committee through its
review of the Draft #2 of the proposed publication of Updates (including four additional
errata) to the CommitteeÈs Report to the 2015 ATM and accompanying STMs.
