We concur with the assessment of the Executive Secretary that the time between the deadline <br /> for warrant submission and the-executing of the warrant is too short. As Mr. Bacigalupi suggested at <br /> the August 19 Selectmen's Meeting,we have changed the dates when articles are due. We are <br /> removing the phrase in question by the Town's attorney. Finally, if the article is added,we will move <br /> to indefinitely postpone the article as presented on the warrant. . <br /> TO SEE IF THE TOWN WILL VOTE TO AMEND THE TOWN OF MASHPEE CODE BY <br /> STRIKING CHAPTER 40, ARTICLE I, SECTION 40-1 (C.)AND (D.)AND INSERTING IN <br /> PLACE THEREOF THE-FOLLOWING LANGUAGE: <br /> "C. ARTICLES FOR THE SPRING ANNUAL TOWN MEETING MIDST BE SUBMITTED BY <br /> THE SECOND MONDAY IN FEBRUARY EACH YEAR. ARTICLES FOR THE FALL <br /> ANNUAL TOWN MEETING MUST BE SUBMITTED BY THE SECOND MONDAY IN JULY <br /> EACH YEAR. <br /> D. -THE SELECTMEN WtL-L INSERT IN SAID WARRANT <br /> ANY ARTICLE OR ARTICLES RECEIVED BY THEM AS OF SAID <br /> MONDAY IN FEBRUARY AND SAID MONDAY IN JULY.

BEFORE <br /> CALLING A SPECIAL TOWN MEETING,THE SELECTMEN WILL INSERT IN A LEGAL <br /> NEWSPAPER NOTICE SPECIFYING THE LAST DAY UPON WHICH ARTICLES TO BE <br /> INSERTED IN THE WARRANT FOR SUCH MEETINGS WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE <br /> SELECTMEN OR THE TOWN CLERK.17 <br /> OR TAKE ANY OTHER ACTION RELATING THERETO. <br /> Submitted by the Finance Committee <br /> Explanation: At last ear's Town Meeting,the Town voted to extend the time for the posting of <br /> Town Meeting warrants from fourteen to thirty days. This left a shortened period between the <br /> deadline for submitting articles and the deadline for posting the Town Meeting warrant. This article <br /> seeks to back up the deadline for the submission of articles to allow sufficient time for the preparation <br /> and review of the draft warrant before its posting. <br />
