and shall be residents of the Town of Greenfield.
The Commission shall advise the Mayor in the control, development

and development or alterations of facilities or programs which shall
meet with the approval of the Mayor.
The Commission, subject to Town rules and regulations, shall
have the power to employ persons, including but not limited to the
