INDEPENDENT AUDIT In accordance with the provisions of section 8-8 of the Orleans Charter, the Board of Selectmen retained the firm of Robert Ercolinl & Company to perform an inde- pendent audit of the financial activity of the Town for Fiscal Year 1995. The audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. As is the practice with most communities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Town has not maintained historical cost records of its fixed assets.

The Task Force is made up of two Planning Board mem- bers, two Board of Appeals members, the Town Planner and the Building Commissioner. The Town Executive has also appointed 3 ad hoc members to assist the Task Force in specific areas. The Task Force had 22 regular meetings in 1995. The Task Force presented 5 proposed zoning bylaw amendments at the May, 1995 Annual Town Meeting. Two amendments were approved, two were indefinitely postponed, and one defeated - 360 to 90. Five zoning amendments have been drafted that will be present at the May 1996 Annual Town Meeting.
