[Adopted as Art. V, Sec. 20, of the General Bylaws]
As part of the services and programs it provides to the Town,
the Council on Aging and Human Services (COA/HS) sponsors trips, outings
and other events, which are open to all of the senior citizens of
Foxborough. In order to ensure the health, safety and well being of
those senior citizens who participate in such trips, outings and events,
it is necessary for an appropriate number of COA/HS staff member or
representatives, as part of their official duties, to accompany the
seniors. This bylaw is enacted for the purpose of authorizing the
COA/HS Director, with the prior approval of the Town Manager, to enter
into agreements with vendors providing services to the COA/HS relative
to such COA/HS-sponsored trips, outings and events pursuant to which
the vendors will provide for COA/HS staff or representatives required
as part of their official duties to accompany the seniors, free transportation,
lodging, meals and admissions identical to that being provided by
the vendors to the senior citizens participating in the trips, outings
and events, and for the further purpose of authorizing the COA/HS
staff or representatives who are assigned by the COA/HS Director to
accompany the seniors to accept the free transportation, lodging,
meals and admissions subject to this bylaw.
