(DD)presented the draft he wrote combining (CS) and(CB)versions. (CB) comments: change "working group"
to "committee; change "moderator" to "Chair" and have vice-chair and secretary; BOS and Town Meeting vote
could bog it down — still could be done, but don't set as requirement; a lot of information is unnecessary in a
charter. (DD) wondered if Board should wait for MAPC report before writing charter; (BF) get funds at Town
Meeting to hire planner to lead the Master Plan process forward. Significant difference in (CS) and(CB) opinions
about content required for Charter. Next steps: send draft of charter to Winter at MAPC for review and input;
focus on warrant language;keep Sept. 13th meeting with BOS to discuss funding article for Special Town Mtg.
