Time for Town Charter and bylaw reviews

Our Town Charter provides for periodic review of itself and for review of our town bylaws.
Here is the charter section on review

SECTION 6-7: PERIODIC REVIEW, CHARTER AND BY-LAWS
(a) Charter Review - At least once in every ten years, beginning in 2010, and thereafter in each year ending in a zero, a special committee to consist of nine members shall be established for the purpose of reviewing this charter and to make a report, with recommendations, to the town meeting concerning any proposed amendments which said committee may determine to be necessary or desirable. The committee shall consist of nine members who shall be chosen as follows: the select board, the finance committee and the school committee shall each designate two persons, the planning board shall designate one person, and two persons shall be appointed by the town moderator. Persons appointed by the said agencies may, but need not, be members of the agency by which they are designated. The committee shall meet to organize forthwith following the final adjournment of the annual town meeting.

The bylaw review provision calls for ...

... the appointment of a five member committee. Here is that section of the charter.

(b) By-Law Review - The select board shall at five year intervals, in by a special committee appointed for that purpose, a proposed revision or recodification of all by-laws of the town which shall be presented to the town meeting for reenactment at the annual town meeting in the year following the year in which the said committee is appointed. The by-law review committee shall consist of the town clerk who shall serve by virtue of office, two representative town meeting members appointed by the town moderator and two persons appointed by the select board. The said committee in its final, or in an interim report, shall include recommendations for such substantive change in town by-laws as it deems necessary or advisable. The review of town by-laws shall be in conjunction with the town counsel, or, by special counsel retained for that purpose. Subsequent to enactment by the town meeting, copies of the revised by-laws shall be forwarded to the attorney general of the commonwealth for approval, and they shall be otherwise published, all as required by general laws. Copies of the revised by-laws shall be made available for distribution to the public at a charge not to exceed the actual cost, per copy, of reproduction.

I think that the Executive Administrator should be one of the two appointments by the Select Board. Some member of the Select Board could also be appointed or it could be anyone else. I have a couple of people that I think would be good candidates and I will contact them to see if they are interested. If you are interested in serving on either committee, you can contact the Select Board office or the Town Meeting moderator, Mr. Sharek (EMail - stevesharek@comcast.net)
The scope of the charter review is limited in the arrangement set out in our charter as I posted here. Any proposed changes from the charter committee require approval by 2/3 vote of Town Meeting and a majority of voters in a general election. See MGL chapter 43B sections 1 through 12
