Roache pointed out that Chapter 5 Article 2 is what governs the committee and it is not reflected accurately in terms of a member of the open space committee. The Town does not an Open Space Committee but ment. He suggested that Chapter 5 Article 2 mimic exactly what is in that bylaw. J. Simons explained that technically part of the Town and suggested just leaving the Open Space slot open. B. Roache displayed the bylaw with edits from their previous meeting. He suggested reviewing Section IIA number four, regarding whether the chair could come from the entire body of members or the at-large members. T.
