REPORT OF THE TOWN GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
Article 33 of the Annual Town Meeting, 1963 - "Voted to instruct the Selectmen to appoint a commit- tee of 9, two (2) from each precinct and three (3) members-at-large, to serve without pay, to study the vari- ous forms of Town Government. Said committee to present their findings and to make recommendations at the next Annual Town Meeting and to raise and appropriate the sum of $500.00 to cover the expenses of car- rying out this article. Said commit- tee to be appointed within one calen- dar month following the acceptance of this article." Voted to adopt Ar- ticle 33 as amended, 4-4-63.
Your Town Government Commit- tee was established by a vote of the Town under the above article at the 1963 Annual Town Meeting, and in accordance with this vote, the Select- men appointed the following mem- bers: Mr. Tremblay, Mr. Kelley, Mr. Chandler, Mr. Hunter, Mr. Kilpatrick, Mr. Plunkett, Mr. Amiot, Mrs. An- derson and Mrs. Corliss. At the or- ganizational meeting of the commit- tee, Mr. Lewis Tremblay was elect- ed Chairman; Mr. Kilpatrick, Vice- Chairman; Mrs. Anderson, Treasurer; and Mr. Kelley, Secretary. At a later date, the committee was informed by the Board of Selectmen that they had accepted the resignation of Mr. Kil- patrick with regret. Mr. Al Shamas was appointed in his place.
The committee at an early date, decided it was empowered to study the Town Meeting, the Town By- Laws and the various administrative forms of Town Government. This interpretation was subsequently af- firmed by the Town Counsel.
The committee held six (6) hear- ings, three (3) Public Hearings, one (1) with the Selectmen, one (1) with the Finance Committee and one (1) with all other elected officials. The purpose of these hearings was to allow officials and interested resi- dents of the town, an opportunity to bring before the committee, any ideas they had on Town By-Laws,
Town Meetings or the Town Govern- ment. The hearings with the Town officials were well attended, the Pub- lic Hearings were not.
The following problem areas are applicable to our form of Govern- ment: (1) Present form, no central control. (2) Lack of full time author- itative town representative. (3) Lack of full time administrative head for the Board of Health and the Board of Selectmen. (4) Lack of central pur- chasing. (5) Lack of interdepartmen- tal coordination. (6) Lack of central over-all planning. (7) The amount of time required to conduct business at a Town Meeting and an absence of a clear understanding of the content of the Meeting.
