Thank you from the By Law Committee

Last month I wrote about the now completed By Law Committee Informational Programs. I would like to thank the residents and department heads that were present to help clear things up for out residents.

Now the next and final step in the adoption process is the presentation and hopeful adoption of the By Law Package by a Special Town Meeting Vote. Residents who attend the Special Town Meeting will hear a presentation and then have an opportunity to vote to accept or reject the package as presented. These By Laws are important to the operation of the Town of Seekonk. Any number of Town Operations from how committees form to Yard Sales to Roads and Stormwater Management to Animal Control. Without the By Laws there would be no guidance. Local By Laws are in fact laws. Regulations and Requirements set up locally to help the Community function each day.

The By Law Study Committee has been working closely with many Town Departments. Taking their recommendations and incorporating them into updated By Laws. We have been meeting regularly twice per month since August of 2015 to develop this proposed document.

The members of the By Law Committee Robert Delrosso, Beverly Hart, Robert Blanchard and David Sullivan, Jr. would like to thank the many Town Officials that participated with the Committee to develop these By Laws. We want to make special note of the assistance that we have received throughout this process from Town Administrator Shawn Cadime. Right from the beginning Mr Cadime was at our meetings answering our questions and facilitating the appearance of Town Officials and Department Heads.

Thank you and We hope to see you at the Special Town Meeting February 27, 2017 7:00pm at the Seekonk High School.

David Sullivan, Jr.
Chairman
