This resolution was declared duly ADOPTED.
COUNCILMAN WICKHAM; I think the current legislation is quite adequate. There

change is basically to sideline the Planning Board, and I don't support it for that
reason,
COUNCILMAN PENNY: I don't know where this sidelining, and this impact s.
It is no change, it is a clarification of the Code, as i've already read. I think
that there are a lot of m~sconceptions going on, that are being fostered by those,
that lead committees that are supposed to be clarifying, and develop working
relationships between Boards. Well, to throw the Boards on top of each other.
especially in Town Code, and support that sort of thing, doesn't give any sense
of direction to this community, ancJ I can't believe that this is still going on.

in that capacity, and certainly will make sure that this is permanent part of the
record, and that his recognition, obviously, will take place for many decades to
come of those who will read these m~nutes in the future. So, know you're here,
Mr. Dennehy, in the audience, and I'just want to thank you. He's not here. I
thought he was n the back. I iust want to take this time to thank him for his ~'
dedication, and time. This is a volunteer basis position, and it does not get,
obviously, paid, and these people do donate a tremendous amount of sacrifice,
there's a tremendous amount of sacrifice, in relation to they're doing the job
one hundred percent of the time, so I want to thank him for that. Also, I'd like
