CONTINUED FROM PAGE B:1 These property owners who do have these type of water vessels need ac- cess themselves to put their boats in and out for the season, so this should address that issue. In addition I heard of other residents not happy about the ordinance , but this limited sea- sonal ban may appease some because I am told these users like to use the lake to flush out their engines with the fresh water at the end of the sea- son. Also, the chief of police suggested that property owners with these ves- sels that need to pull their boats dur- ing the boating season for emergency repairs will be allowed to do so via the town ramp. At the last town council meeting a committee was proposed to study any possible impact the next state cen- sus may have on the makeup of the council membership. Currently the council is composed of one member for each precinct , currently 13, and the legitimate concern of even a larger membership after the next Census is the basis for the study. The commit- tee shall review whether there is a likelihood of more precincts in town as a result of the 2010 Census and if so what the town should do. I agree with others that the current size of the council is large enough and should not be expanded. Originally the Town Charter had two councilors per precinct , this was changed to one member because the 18-member council would have become an even larger body. There- fore the committee shall review this issue and make recommendations for the Council to consider. Any changes must be approved by the state leg- islative and executive branches by a home rule petition which is typically routine and then endorsed by a bind- ing local referendum. —7^t I II I (1 * -^^B^^Bm ^ * v^ ~^\\ 1 J^H PISHI^ *M \ —111 1 mwm -SsSSL} \ Vfa jr\B I ,\V/L i Left to rtt>hi John M Bourgoin, When \u opened our new J ,,?„ , . , , . 1 1 i i David M Chapman.
