[Town Meeting] DOCUMENT: Possible substitute motion for STM Article 6

[Rich Carreiro]

(0) I'm considering bringing this up because it appears the
    article's proponents are abandoning the article
    after the relevant boards have acquiesced to the
    proponents' specific requests.
(1) However, I want to see the bylaw followed going
    forward as well as on the two prior namings under
    discussion.
(2) I know that to make the relevant by-law legally binding
    requires home-rule legislation, but I'm willing to take
    a more conciliatory approach and give town officials a
    second chance to do the right thing on their own and
    so phrase this as a resolution.
(3) I know the language is clunky.  Feedback is welcome.
(4) "employee" is in there to cover the Town Manager,
    who has jurisdiction over town-side naming.


    27 April 2005 Special Town Meeting        Article 6

    I, Richard Carreiro, move that the following resolution
    be adopted:

    RESOLVED:
      Town Meeting requests that all boards, committees,
      and employees of the Town follow the letter and intent
      of the Public Memorial Committee by-law regardless of
      whether or not the by-law is legally binding on that
      particular board, committee, or employee.
