There is hereby established a Dedham Civic Pride Committee consisting
of seven or more persons to be appointed by the Town Manager. The
Manager may appoint officers or other employees of the Town and nonresident
commercial property owners or members of the business community, but
the number of Town officers and employees may not constitute a majority
of the committee. The Manager shall attempt to maintain at all times
members from each voting precinct of the Town.
A member shall serve for a term of two years and until a successor
is duly appointed. All members shall serve without compensation.
The Committee shall annually elect from among its members a
Chairman, a Vice-chairman and a Clerk, and such other officers as
the Committee shall deem necessary and proper.
The Committee shall consider programs, projects and policies
which (a) foster, encourage and promote civic pride within the Town
and (b) preserve, improve and upgrade the overall physical beauty
and aesthetic appearance of the Town and shall make recommendations
to the Manager regarding their implementation. Each such recommendation
shall consider mechanisms for the coordinated and cooperative efforts
of various Town departments engaged in similar enterprises. To this
end the Committee shall conduct such studies and hold such conferences
and meetings as are necessary.
