` Town of Mashpee <br /> 16 great JVeck load Xorth <br /> Mashpee,Massachusetts 02649 <br /> June 12,2000 <br /> i <br /> 0 <br /> Ms.Marie J.Parente <br /> House Chair <br /> Joint Committee on Local Affairs <br /> House of Representatives <br /> State House,Boston,02133 <br /> Dear Ms.Parente, <br /> On November 13, 1989,a bylaw amendment was approved at a Special Town Meeting to establish <br /> a Fall Annual Town Meeting. It was with hopes of reducing the number of town meetings taking place in <br /> Mashpee. On February 16, 1990,the Attorney General's office approved the amendment. <br /> In 1999, new personnel at the Attorney General's government bureau questioned the validity of <br /> the bylaw. While the bylaw was both approved at a town meeting and approved at the Attorney General's <br /> office, the bylaw amendment failed to authorize and instruct the Town to file a Home Rule petition. <br /> Therefore,the Town is now seeking to formalize this bylaw with special legislation. <br /> 'i <br /> I thank you in advance on behalf of the Town of Mashpee for your favorable consideration. <br /> Since <br /> Cq <br /> eborah F.Dami <br /> Mashpee Town Clerk i <br /> lo, <br /> Enc(4) <br /> � i <br /> i;- <br />
