Attorney Gener REPORT OF THE CO.~.~MITTEE ON REVISION OF THE TOWN BYmLAWS Pursuant to a vote of the Town at the 1965 Annual Town Meeting, a Committee was appointed by the Moderator to study and recommend re- vision of the Town By-Laws. Your Committee has been active and has met various times to con- sider all aspects of the Town By-Laws with a view to recommending a revision and consolidation of existing Laws. Immediately upon its organization, the Committee communicated in writing with all Town Departm~ts, Boards and Committees, and invited the submission to it of any suggestions and comments for consideration by the Committee. Several suggestions and comments have bee~ received and have been considered by the Committee. ~ome of these have been felt to be of some immediate importance and action by the Committee on these has resulted in the insertion in the Warrant for this Annual Town Meeting of Articles 80 through 8~, inclusive, and the Committee's explanation and recommendation of these Articles is contained in this Report. Because of the work involved in the task of this Committee, it was found impossible to submit a final report and proposed draft of a re- vision of the By-Laws to this meeting. Furthermore, the importance of s revision is such that your Ccemmittee feels that it should be the subject matter for a Special Town Meeting to be called f~r the purpose when full consideration can be given to this subject alone. We respectfully recommend that the Co~nittee be continmed to complete its work and that it be instructed to report to a Special Town Meeting to be called for the purpose of considering its Report and to take such action as the Town shall see fit with respect thereto. For the purpose of explaining the insertion in the Warrant and the recommendation of the Committee for the adoption of Articles 80 to 8~, the Committee respectfully submits the following for your consideration: ARTICLE 80. Section 7 of Article IV as presently appearing in the General By-Law is recommended striken by this Article. It currently pro- rides for a "Finance Committee". The Function of such Committee is simply a duplication of the function of your Advisory Board~and appears to the Committee to be unnecessary. ARTICLE 81. Section 2 of Article II requires the insertion in the Annual Town Report by the Selectmen o£ a report of the Selectmen's doings, s report of the School Committee, and of such other officers, boards and committees as are required to make reports, of a list of jurors, a report of all town meetings since the publication of the last Annual Town Report, and the regulations of the Board of Health, Water Co~missioners, and also requires the insertion in the Report of the By-Laws of the Town. The work in compiling and printing of the Town Report and the expense involved seems to the Committee such that considerable time and effort, and also unnecessary expense, can be saved by the adoption of Article 81. The effect of the adoption of Article 81 would be to sllow the Selectmen to designate, other than a report of their own doings and those of the School Committee which would still be required, what ~eports of departments, officers and boards and committees would be required to be printed in the Report. It would also eliminate the insertion in the Report of the list of jurors, of the Board of Health and Water Commissioners Regulations, and of the By-Laws of the Town, all of which are readily available to anyone who may have need to consult them. ARTICLE 82. This Article is intended to provide for the fixing of fees of the Inspector of Wires. No provision or authority apparently presently exists in the By-Laws for the fixing of such fees, and the Committee respectfully submits that this is a matter which required im- mediate attention. ARTICLE 83. This Article is the result of suggestions of various departmont~ and of other interested townspeople. There is presently no authority, except by vote at an Annual or Special Town Meeting, for the sale of personal property in any department which has become obsolete and which is no longer required. It is a cumbersome and expensive procedure ~ich requires the calling of a Town Meeting to authorize disposal of articles of personal property, the value of which is sometimes less than the cost of calling a Town Meeting. The Committee has in mind the possibX~tty of abuses in the matter of sales by departments and has thus rec~m~enAed a proviso that approval of any sale rest with the Selectmen upon request of the department head, and that the records of the Selectmen show fully the reasons for approval of any such request. The Committee is of the opinion that with these latter safeguards, the best interests of the To~n will be served by the adoption of this Article. ARTICLE 84. The Committee has inserted hhis Article in the ~arrant for the reasons which appear within the wording of the Article. The convenience of the public is of prime importance and must be considered at all times. Citizens in the process of building new homes, builders and contractors, and possibly industrialists interested in locating and building in North Andover should be able to consult with the Building Inspector at reasonable times. I~ is not possible for one Building Inspector to be available at all hours since the duties of his private business require his attention as well. The Committee also has in mind the possibility of some interest on the part of a Building Inspector in various applications and other matters upon which he may be called to act in his official capacity. For these reasons, the Committee recommends favorable action upon Attic le. We wish to thank all Town officials and private citizens for their cooperatdon with the Committee end once again invite any sug§estions and comments which any maywish ~o make to the Cor~nittee for i2s consideration.
