HIGHLIGHTS: Present was Road Agent, David Kenneally. Chairman DeBold presented his draft charter for the Road Advisory Committee. The only change that Mr. Kenneally asked be made was the Road Management Plan, long and short term goals.

Mr. Kenneally hopes that the committee will help work out realistic/sensible plans for the roads in Chichester. It was decided that any major construction that needs to be done will be addressed in a
warrant article and any maintenance will come out of the highway’s budget. Chairman DeBold stated that the charter is a working charter, that changes in the charter can be made.
The Board and Mr. Kenneally viewed the membership. Mr. Kenneally thought Police Chief Clarke and Fire Chief Paveglio would not be able to be part of the committee, since they have other obligations.
