The August 3, 2016 meeting of the Orleans Revenue Committee was convened at 3:30 p.m. in the
Tonset Room of Orleans Town Hall. Present and constituting a quorum were members, Mr. Paul
Kelleher, Mr. John Laurino Mr. Frank Lucibella, Mr. Kenneth Rowell, and Mr. Robert Renn
The first order of business was the election of officers. By unanimous consent, Mr. Laurino was
elected Chairman and Mr. Renn, Vice Chairman. Clerk responsibilities will be rotated in future
meetings.
The Committee undertook a review of the draft 'charge'and 'objectives'prepared by the Finance
Committee. A discussion regarding priorities ensued and the attached 'Revised Charge, with
Deliverables and Timetable' represents the consensus achieved.
Of particular concern amongst the members is the timetable by which the Committee will operate. All
members agreed that having recommendations to the Board of Selectmen in time for them to be
actively considered in the 2017-2018 Town budgeting process is paramount. Hence the data
gathering portion of the Committee's 'charge'lies on the critical path. The identification of resources
required to assemble the data as outlined remains to be decided. Mr. Renn suggested the
Committee contact Northeastern University to explore the possibility of a'co-op' student being
assigned and Mr. Laurino agreed to pursue this together with also contacting Babson and Bryant
Colleges.
The Committee will also extend invitations for its next meeting to Finance Director Doane and
Selectman McClennen to help in jump starting the internal and external data gathering activities.
Future Meetings
The next meeting is August 22, 2016 and Ms. Doane & Selectman McClennen will be asked to •
attend.
Resolution of Committee resources will be pursued.
Adjournment
Motion to adjourn by Mr. Rowell and seconded by Mr. Lucibella .The motion was approved
unanimously.

Respectfully Submitted,
John Laurino, Chairman
