Chairman, Nancy Abelman announced that our letter requested by the
Board of Selectman, as a study and response to the Drug Advisory Com-
mission' s report, was presented to the Board, Mon. Nov. 29. At that
time Mrs. Battin suggested a meeting between members of the Drug Ad-
visory Commission, The Recreation Commission, and the YAC before Dec.
13 with an open discussion on the 13th before the Bd. of Selectmen.
Nancy urged that all of the YAC who are interested, attend the meet-
ing of the 13th.
Jeff Spencer made the motion that a vote of affirmation be made for
our proposal to the report for thc. Bd. of Selectmen. Seconded and
approved.
There then was a discussion of the comments Dr. Kassler made at the
Bd. of Selectmen' s meeting regarding our minutes, and a review of
the history which brought about our decision to examine the CRC
report. Did we have the right as a commision to respond? And is our
action dependent upon a request from the Bd. of Selectmen? It was
brought up that our By-Laws, Section 4 doesn' t state "the question
of looking into other committee':s_ reports" , while By-Laws, Sect. 1
gives approval for recommendation.
The members stated that we don' t need official requests from the Bd.
of Selectmen for action programs .
Jeff Spencer moved tat we postpone any formal response to Dr. Kas-
sler' s remarks. Seconded and approved.
Pursuant to this was an examination of minutes; the manner of dis-
tributing and mailing minutes ahead of the next meetings .
Jeff moved that all minutes be approved by members and ex-officio
members at the next meeting and then released. Seconded and approved
with the comment that they will not be censored.
There followed a discussion of the types of minutes. Should they
be very detailed, direct quotes with names , or simply substance and
motions?
A motion was made that they be kept as they have been;by Lynah. Se-
conded and approved.
YAC' s current progress in the subcommittee for the CRC' s report was
questioned by Abelman. Cole has joined the committee; wants to achieve
"implementation in evaluation"and suggested that it need not have a
timelimit, and that at Monday' s meeting Kassler suggested a CRC mem-
ber meet with us.
Gower asked about the possibility of picking up CRC and it' s report
in "communication" subcommittee and thereby answer all questions.
Abelman restated this and there were no objections.
Abelman then asked for a volunteer to help Politi with an article
for the Minuteman and Lynah volunteered. All members were re—
quested to submit two sentences they thought important at the next
meeting.
Slectman Miley mentioned that the budget request request be made
final . It will be the same as last year.
Abelman requested all news from attending other meetings representing
YAC1 be reported.
It was planned that next weeks meeting be a working meeting for
subcommittees.
The meeting was adjourned at 9: 15.
Respectfully submitted,
