Explanation: The requirement that five members of the Board of Sewer Commissioners represent each of the Town's five precincts may lead to a lack of interested candidates from a precinct, leaving the Board short of its specified seven members. This article would provide that the Selectmen attempt to find suitable representatives from each precinct, but that if no candidate applies after 30 days of advertising the position, the Selectmen may open the position to, and appoint, any qualified voter of the Town. The Board of Selectmen recommends approval by a vote of 5-0. The Finance Committee recommends approval by a vote of 7-0. Motion made by Selectman Carol Sherman. Motion: I move the Town vote to approve Article 13 as printed in the warrant with the exception of the phrase "or take any other action relating thereto". Motion passes at 7:35 PM Article 14 To see if the Town will vote to authorize and empower the Board of Selectmen to prepare a plan laying out a defining Holly Way, Elm Lane, Autumn Drive, Attaquin Street, Poknomet Street, Hornbeam Lane, Lantern Lane, Beachwood Drive, Hemlock Drive, and Fir Court; and to accomplish said purpose and for expenses incidental and related thereto, the Town vote to raise and appropriate or transfer from available funds for appropriation $15,000 to the Timberland Shores Roadways Account, or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by the Board of Selectmen Explanation: This article will authorize the Board of Selectmen to prepare a plan laying out said ways for conversion from private to public ways. This is a necessary step in the overall clean-up of Santuit Pond. A study of the Pond conducted by AECOM has revealed direct road run off into the pond, through this taking the Town will correct the drainage/runoff issue. The Board of Selectmen recommends approval by a vote of 5-0. The Finance Committee recommend approval by a vote of 5-1. Motion made by Selectman John Cahalane.
