Page 3 Warrant - Draft 2 (8/15) Ms. King expected that this Warrant should be light and that some Articles would be pulled at the next Selectmen's meeting. The Committee briefly reviewed the Articles containing money issues. Ms. King was not in favor of Article 12 or Article 13. She did not believe the Administrative Assistant to the Board of Selectmen was exempt from the union contract. The Chairman did not think the Committee should support Article 14 (reclassification of certain library positions; or Article 15 (changing circulation assistants to standard part time positions) . Mr. Goggin asked if there was even a need for these articles to be contained in the Warrant now that the Town has unionized. In regard to article 17 (the Landfill capping) the Committee asked Mr. Gallo to review this. The Committee agreed Article 19 (printing 100 General By-Laws) and Article 20 ( (furnish elections office) looked okay. There appeared to be a problem with Article 21 (building a closet to house permanently bound record) , due to the fact that the Town Hall will be renovated. The Committee also agreed that if Article 23 (constructing a fence around the Flume) be necessary then it should be paid from the Conservation Funds. Ms. King and Mr. Goggin agreed that Petition Article 26 (amending 14 days notice of Warrant to 30 days notice) would be helpful. Mr. Goggin also felt that Article 27 (publishing a sum in the Warrant) would be helpful to taxpayers. He explained that the amount could always be amended on Town meeting floor. Ms. King did not agree with Article 28 (wanting a vote even if request is within Proposition 2 1/2) . Mr. Goggin felt that if the Capital Improvement Committee was working then this would be unnecessary, but if the CIP was not working then this Article would be beneficial. Mr. Bacigalupi stated that he would be hesitant to agree with Article 29 (placing the Town Planner under the Planning Board's supervision) until further clarification was obtained. Ms. King asked if the Committee felt a joint meeting with the Board of Selectmen would be beneficial? The Committee agreed that it would be and Ms. King stated that she would contact Chairman Vaccaro. Mr. Goggin also stated that the Committee should take a standpoint on all Articles because some articles could have a monetary impact. The meeting adjourned at 8:00PM. The next scheduled meeting is on Tuesday, August 29, 1995 at 7:OOPM. Minutes respectfully submitted by Jean M. Mooney, Board Secretary.
