Pursuant to the provisions of the Mashpee Home Rule Charter, Article 8, Section 8-5(a), the <br /> Board of Selectmen was mandated to appoint a seven person Committee to review the Town <br /> Bylaws for the purpose of preparing such revisions and amendments as may be needed or <br /> necessary to bring the Bylaws into conformity with the provisions of the Charter and to fully <br /> implement the provisions of the Charter. The Committee has submitted a Report to the Annual <br /> Town Meeting based upon its extensive review of the Mashpee Bylaws, which recommends <br /> adoption of the amendments and revisions to the Bylaws referenced herein. The Bylaw Review <br /> Committee conducted several meetings, under the supervision of Town Counsel, as required by <br /> the Charter as a result of which it determined that the amendment, rearrangement and other <br /> revisions requested by this Article are necessary and appropriate to bring the existing General <br /> Bylaws into conformity with the provisions of the Mashpee Horne Rule Charter and to fully <br /> implement the terms and conditions of the Charter. The goal of the Bylaw Review Committee <br /> was to update the Town's Bylaws to the extent required for conformity with the Town Charter as <br /> well as to reorganize various sections of the General Bylaws such that they flow in an organized <br /> and rational sequence for ease in implementation and cohesiveness. The Bylaw Review <br /> Committee also endeavored to eliminate obsolete and/or un-utilized Bylaw provisions. <br />
