He commented that the article, <br /> as written, fails to address any cost implications or provide the rationale for the change, which he <br /> says are required. He reported that he consulted with the Attorney General and the MA Housing and <br /> Development Office (which oversees town charters), and concludes that this is not the proper way to <br /> make such a change. Rather, it should be a ballot question, said Mr. Larkin. Some limited discussion <br /> followed with members of the Finance Committee, noting that the article is put forth by Selectmen, <br /> not the Finance Committee. FinCom had previously voted on August 26th to offer no <br /> recommendation by a vote of 3-3. <br /> MINUTES <br /> Minutes approval of August 26, 2021 meeting postponed to next meeting. <br /> APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS <br /> None <br /> COMMUNICATIONS & CORRESPONDENCE <br /> Communication from Board of Selectmen Liaison, if any <br /> Communication from School Board Liaison, if any <br />
