Member issues (LOA, student representatives) <br /> Mr. Collins noted the MIDC did not need to formalize the initiation of a student <br /> representative. She did ask if the new representatives need to be introduced to the Select <br /> Board. <br /> Chairwoman referenced the process to develop bylaws to make the Committee official back <br /> in June 2018. Then, the Town Manager decided it was complicated, as they are not a <br /> committee with members voted in. When he came to the meeting he instructed us to get <br /> away from that process and suggested this be adopted by the Select Board. A Town bylaw <br /> can only be revised or amended at Town Meeting. As a result, she located the approved <br /> bylaws and handed them out to the Committee. Non-voting high school members currently <br /> in their Junior or Senior year, need to be designated by a vote of the School Committee <br /> and Human Resources. <br /> The Committee originally had one student. The Principal had trouble choosing between two <br /> students, so two students were welcomed. This is helpful in the case of an absence. Mr. <br /> Collins left it up to MIDC to make that decision. <br /> In regards to Ms. Wilson (Sue), there is nothing stating anything regarding absences. <br /> Ms. Johnson-Graham feels medical exemptions are allowed, but this is a commitment and <br /> we should make room for someone who is available and can commit. <br /> Mr. Kupferman noticed under vacancies, it does reference consequence for three <br /> consecutive meetings missed. <br /> Madam Chair said the Committee's stance will be to allow her back upon her return to <br /> Mashpee. <br /> 2. Warrant Article for Town Meeting: Title change to Select Board <br /> This was the first Warrant Article at Town Meeting. Chairwoman thanked Mr. Kupferman for <br /> bringing this up to the Select Board. This process had been discussed on how it could get <br /> on the Warrant. It was checked with Counsel and supported by the present Board. The <br /> Finance Committee was split 3-3, a committee comprised of six men. <br /> Chairwoman thinks there should be someone who stands up representing our Committee, <br /> without going into a lot of detail, but a basic statement that MIDC supports this and urges <br /> people to vote "yes". <br /> 3 <br />
