The approved address change is intended to improve councilor safety, although the discussion noted it may not prevent home addresses from becoming public through other sources. A proposed Lake Management Commission would coordinate management of all lakes and great ponds and pursue grants, with evaluations planned twice a year depending on lake conditions and funding. The committee also approved updated fire and clerk fees, tabled changes concerning junk cars at 75 Shaker Lane and notices of legal claims to elected officials, and filed a petition to review business sign-area limits.
