BACC Government Affairs Re-Cap January 2018




The BACC's Government Affairs Committee met on Wednesday, January 30th. We were thrilled to have Paul Sagarino visit our monthly meeting. The Board of Selectmen voted unanimously in 2018 to appoint Paul to the Town Administrator position, effective March 1, 2019. The Committee looks forward to working closely with Paul and his staff.

This month's agenda included a recap of Town Meeting's votes on Monday, January 28th. As reported by BCAT, Town Meeting approved Warrant Article IX, a proposed town-wide ban on single-use plastic bags. The vote succeeded by a majority of 52-45. Town Meeting members also overwhelmingly approved Warrant Article II, which updates the Zoning Bylaws, in an effort to make Burlington more appealing to Life Sciences companies looking to relocate into Burlington. The Committee saw this decision, and the prior Life Science Forum held by Kristen Kassner and BACC Member, Northeastern University Innovation Campus, as a significant step in the right direction for the future of Burlington.
