the Construction Management Committee. He is also the liason on the Solid
Waste Advisory Committee. Their first meeting will be next week.
Town Attorney Shirley Egan reported that the Town can do the youth services
completely itself or contract with an entity such as the Community Council.
Thus, the Community Council is not insured through the town. As they have
been insured in the past, the town should obtain a letter from the home
insurance office to state that our liability insurance covers the activities
of the contracted corporation (the Community Council). We should act on this
as soon as possible.
