Conservation Commission November 30, 1989 Page 3. RICHARD HALPERN: 1 have four questions. EHRIA : one please, one at a time because we do have a number of other issues to get through. HALPERN: This is a public hearing, ars l allowed to have four questions? SIMMONS: Richard, I said one subject at a time. HALPERN: one subject apt a t i e, I would like to come back to the other three. IONS: Absolutely. HALPERN: I read the article with the interview in the Falmouth Enterprise a week ago of the Conservation Agent on the proposed bylaw addition. SIMMONS: l would like to male a correction, before we have any misunderstanding Richard, l want to make sure that everyone knows these are regulations, these are not additions to our bylaw. our bylaw, in order to have additions rade to it, has to be taken to town floor. HALPERN: That is part of my first question. Lice it said in the article, the proposed addition to the bylaw. SIMMONS-0 That was a mistake by Mr. Ott and he apologizes; he will make a correction I believe in the net Enterprise. There's Mr. Ott, he will answer that. HALPERN: I 'd rather not debate it right now but get on with my questions. SIMMONS: Certainly, fine. HALPERN: I believe he is absolutely correct in what the newspaper said. I believe that this is a change in the bylaw and is a charge in the intent of the bylaw. I believe the Commission has the right to make regulations, yes, it does have the right to make regulations, but I believe that what the Commission i doing is attempting to rake a regulation that is actually attempting to change the bylaw. EHRAI: Town Counsel has reviewed these regulations as to whether or not they are appropriate for us to take this action on and he has given his approval . If ,you would care to debate that issue with Town Counsel , you can submit a written memorandum and we would be glad to forward it to him. Do you have a specific comment on this regulation that I have ,just read HALPERN: I have three more, okay? EHRAN: on this that I have just read? HALPERN: on this regulation, and I see that Town Counsel approved this but if you read what Town Counsel wrote, he approved it only as to fora, not as .to content. What I 'm saying is, this regulation should be a bylaw that should go to town meeting. SIMMONS.- This is number 11 , we will take your comment under advisement, thank you.
