Authentication of historical sites: Council concensus was to refer the historical sites contained in the Open Space Element of the Town's General Plan to the Historical Society for study and evaluation, with the request that the Society report back to Council on their findings. 2. Proposed combining of functions - Traffic & Public Safety Committee, Pathway Committee with Public Works Committee: Mayor Cheney noted that he had requested that this item be placed on the Agenda, because he had heard many comments that there were many areas of overlapping of responsibilities of the committees in question. Because many terms were expiring on the various committees at this time, he felt this would be the proper time for Council to review this matter. Councilman Grabowski thought some input from Staff was needed regarding this matter, and suggested that the Committees might be streamlined to avoid the overlapping of responsibilities. Council members expressed concern that people remain involved with the community, and the work presently done by various Standing Committees con- tinued, and that their input be sought concerning this matter. Council concensus was to take no action on this matter pending further Staff input, and to extend the terms of present Committee members expiring June 30th, for Asixty days so they could continue with work in progress.
