1.Announcements:
Mr. Parker reported that the Moderator is planning to assemble Special
Town Meeting #4, as soon as the Boardof Selectmen decides on a date. At this time it is anticipated
that thewarrantwill include two substantive articles: 1) the Minuteman Regional High School
capital project and 2) a by-law change to increase thesize of theCapital Expenditures Committee to
up to nine members.
2.ATM Article 31 (Contracts and Deeds):
Mr. Bartenstein reviewed the history and
background of this article, the goal of which is to narrow the scope of the Town’s bylaw
establishing maximum terms for various categories of contracts to those contracts governed by the
state’s procurement law. Essentially the samearticlewas includedon the2015 ATMwarrant, but
was indefinitely postponed due to concerns about the wording of the motion. Since that time Mr.
Bartensteinhas remained in the loop and is now satisfied that the proposed bylaw language
adequately accomplishes the desired objective.
