Bylaw review and adoption -
W. Callahan asked that members review the bylaw and asked if there are any questions about any parts
of the bylaws. R. Rudis pointed out that the bylaw states that member's email addresses will be listed on
the town website. W. Callahan will have the email that is currently listed on the website send
notifications to all members. W. Callahan spoke about the perceived conflict of interest when
committee members present an application. All members adhere to the code of ethics, so no action
needs be taken.

in favor. 6-0.
