• General discussion of the STM to be held on May 15,2002. The AC needs to file a
report with the Town Meeting.
• The proposed by-law change will be one of the articles on the warrant. The BOS
has yet to vote on the article they will support. Minimally the word"free"must be
removed from the by-law.
• Question as to whether the PAYT program should be"revenue neutral" and what
constitutes neutrality. Sense of the AC is that only the tags and barrel labels be
considered. Do not consider the brokerage fees.
• A Levine stated that he would prefer revenue neutrality without that wording
being in the by-law.
• MOTION: AC supports a PAYT bylaw, which is revenue neutral and uses the
sale of tags and barrel labels as the basis for determining the neutrality amount.
Unanimous
• C Lamb spoke about his possible amendment removing the word"free"He
suggested a resolution to reduce taxes. He also felt that perhaps it might not
receive approval from the AG.
• It was reinforced that the AC sought to have the PAYT program revenue neutral
at the 2001 ATM but was not successful.
