John Laurino-Chairman
Robert Renn-Vice Chairman
Paul Kelleher
Frank Lucibella
Kenneth Rowell
The March 31st meeting of the Ad Hoc Revenue Committee was called to order by Mr.
Robert Renn at 11:05 AM. Present and constituting a quorum were: Mr. Renn, Mr. Paul
Kelleher, Mr. Kenneth Rowell, and Mr. Frank Lucibella. Mr. John Laurino attended via
Skype. Ms. Daniella Bradley O'Brien, committee administrative assistant, was also in
attendance.
There was no public comment.
The minutes of March 14, 2017 meeting were approved by a motion from Mr. Kelleher,
seconded by Mr. Lucibella. The vote was 4-0-1.
The committee then began a discussion regarding the next steps to be taken related to
the committee's articles on the Town Meeting Warrant:
Mr. Rowell will make public comment at the April 5, 2017 BOS meeting to:
o Ask for reconsideration of our first article re: User Fees (Note: when this item
was raised at the 4/5/17 BOS meeting a motion was made by Sims McGrath
to reconsider; however, the other two dissenting Selectmen refused to second
the motion, hence, reconsideration was stopped)
o Ask the BOS to move their vote on the third article up so that interested
parties wouldn't have to wait until the end of the meeting for action (Note: the
BOS agreed to move up this item and it was passed 5-0-0)
Mr. Laurino will forward Atty. Ford's mark-up of the committee's proposed articles so
that the BOS can complete action on the third article.
Ms. O'Brien will redraft the letter to Mr. Kelly containing our "Proposed Motion" and
"Summary"for inclusion in the Town Meeting Warrant.
Revenue Committee Minutes— March 31, 2017
Mr. Laurino will formally submit the letter to Mr. Kelly.
Mr. Laurino will pursue advice regarding how to move the committee's articles up on the
agenda at the Town Meeting.
The committee then turned its attention to a review of the updated spreadsheets re:
potential grants for CIP line items. Ms. O'Brien will incorporate the results of this
discussion in another update.
Mr. Renn requested that committee members review items 2. thru 4. of our charge
dated 8/22/16. This will be discussed at a future meeting.
There being no other business, Mr. Lucibella made a motion, seconded by Mr. Rowell to
adjourn the meeting at 12:55 PM. Motion was approved 3-0-2.
Respectfully submitted,
Bob Renn, Vice Chairman
