The Finance Committee members felt his guideline recommendations should be revised to read 50 miles rather than 25 miles .

If a meeting , less than 50 miles from Town Hall , ends after 5 p . m . and is to resume the following day , there is no authorization . If a meeting , _ 50 miles from Town Hall , adjourns after 9 p . m. and does not resume the following day , an overnight stay is authorized . If a meeting that is less than 50 miles adjourns after 9 p . m. there is no authorization for an overnight stay . It was agreed by the Committee members to discuss this with Joe at the next meeting , March 4 , 1987 . On February 18 , 1987 the Finance Committee forwarded a Memorandum to the Board of Selectmen requesting that they reconsider the request of the Animal Control Officer to have an Article on the Annual Town Meeting Warrant for funds to purchase a new radio . This was done with the belief that this radio was a vital necessity for the safety of the Officer . The Executive Secretary corresponded to the Finance Committee , February 26 , noting that the issue had been discussed with the Police Chief and the Selectmen voted to include on the Annual Town Meeting Warrant the Article for funds to purchase a mobile and portable radio . Chairman Blythe informed the Committee members the Board of Assessors had had the 1985 growth figures certified and this would mean and additional $200 , 000 in allowable income .
