VI. Written Communications
VII. Continued Review of existing Charter and potential revision(s)
The Revised Chapters on Board of Finance and Taxation were distributed for the Commission’s reference.
The Town Meeting section had minimal revisions, more clarification of current procedures. The Code of Ethics portion was simplified in that a separate Chapter was eliminated and wording added to Chapter One regarding reference to the Code of Ethics.
The timeframe of Charter Revision was discussed and that the five year requirement to revise was a short span, ten years seemed more appropriate for mandatory revision. It was noted that the citizens always have a right to petition for a Charter Change at any time.
VIII. Discuss and schedule Public Hearing – tabled to the next meeting.

MOTION: To adjourn at 8:50 p.m.
