Discuss May 6, 2013 Annual & Special Town Meeting Warrant Articles
Selectman Foley noted that Selectman Lewis should present Article 24, Town Code Amendment/Animal
Control Bylaw, and if necessary ask the Moderator to take up Articles 25 and 26 together asking Town Counsel
to address any legal questions with respect to status of the suit against the Board of Health regulations.
Discuss Date for Liquor License Hearing for Cape Cod Fresh
Chairman Rabold noted that he would like to add an agenda item to the Selectmen’s May 22 re-organization
meeting to address the liquor license for Cape Cod Fresh. He noted that because this item requires a 2-week
advance newspaper advertisement, and the owners are asking to start business before the peak season, the
current sitting Board would need to approve the agenda item in advance. Selectman Foley said he supported the
request. Selectman Norton said he also supported the request but wanted to keep the agenda for the May 22,
2013 meeting at a minimum.
Discuss Beach Regulations & Signage
Chairman Rabold said he would prefer to leave the wording in the regulations only, related to the requirement
for organized groups of 20 or more people wishing to use a Town Beach or Landing between Memorial Day and
Labor Day weekends to obtain a permit from the Selectmen’s Office. Selectman Lewis noted that groups during
the summer are really only a problem at pond landings where the Town is holding regular scheduled events.
Chairman Rabold said he felt that ordinary beach users would be confused by the reference on the signs.
Selectman Foley moved to approve the wording for the Beach and Landing Regulation Signs as presented
WITHOUT the reference to the requirement for group permits, Selectman Dickson seconded the motion. The
Board voted 5-Yes, 0-No.

be taken in numerical order as soon as any one of the articles was randomly drawn, so that they would be heard
as Article 24, Article 25, and then Article 26. Mr Eldred asked if any of the votes could potentially contradict
another. Chairman Rabold stated that each article could independently pass or fail with no fatal effect upon
another.
Mr. Eldred asked if the Board had any comment related to the Orleans Water Forum, where it was stated that
Orleans may opt to maintain a septage plant on the Tri-Town Septage Treatment Facility site, but that the re-
constituted plant may opt only to accept septage from Orleans. The Board had no comment.
