[Adopted as Art. III, §§ 6 and 8, of the General
Bylaws]
All special committees created by act of the Town Meeting shall,
unless the Town by vote shall otherwise determine, be deemed to be
dissolved as of the date of the adjournment of the Annual Town Meeting
next following their creation or extension. All special committees
in existence at the time of passage of this article shall be deemed
to be in existence until the adjournment of the Annual Town Meeting
of 1962.
If any appointed committee member is absent from five consecutive
regularly scheduled meetings of his committee, except in the case
of illness, their position shall be deemed vacant and shall be filled
by vote of said committee, attested copy of which shall be sent by
the Secretary of said committee to the Town Clerk and to the appointing
authority. The term of office of any person so chosen to fill a vacancy
shall expire at the final adjournment of the next succeeding Annual
Town Meeting and the pertinent appointing authority shall thereupon
appoint their successor to complete the unexpired term of the member
in whose office such vacancy originally occurred. This bylaw shall
apply only to those committees whose formation is not specifically
covered by the General Laws of the Commonwealth or by other existing
bylaws of the Town.
