NEW BUSINESS:
A discussion was held as to the need to update the bylaws. Mr. Bouchard will e-mail a copy to the secretary and she is asked to e-mail it to the members. Everyone is to go over them and bring their suggestions to the next meeting.
The secretary brought up the section on compliance hearings as no hearing was set for the conditional approval of the Special Exception for Sondra Keene. The Board will look at this.
Mr. Meegan suggested that they may want to include something to state that the bylaws are updated the first meeting after town meeting or once a year, so that they will not be forgotten.

With no other business, M. Willingham made a motion, second by D. Hardy, to adjourn at 7:38 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Jan Laferriere, secretary
