Meeting minutes
October 8, 2024
Meeting was conducted via Zoom.
Present: Barbara Tarrh, Gavin Grant, Rachel Summers, Nancy Sofen, Tim Lee.
Called to order at 1:00 pm
1. The group reviewed comments on the bylaw regulations sent by Building Commissioner
Jim Kelly, adopting many of his suggested changes. While the group agreed that
substituting "Tree Warden" for the less specific "Town" (highlighted in green in the
attached `Tree Bylaw Regulations for BEWG comment') may be useful, this will be sent
to the DPW for their input before the change is made.
2. The order of the regulations was edited to place tree protection for remaining trees first.
3. The selection and format of the `Best Small Street Trees Under Wires' list was finalized
as found in the attached `Tree Bylaw Regulations for BEWG comment'.
4. Agreed to send the attached `Tree Bylaw Regulations for BEWG comment' to the Bylaw
Enforcement Working Group and the DPW. If there are no substantial changes
recommended by either, this group authorizes Nancy to send these rules and
regulations, and any changes to the Tree Management Manual necessary for
consistency with bylaw amendments and these regulations, to the Select Board for their
approval.
Adjourned 2:45 pm.
