Public Comments 09-26-2017 Definition of "Family" Ord. 17-14Good Afternoon,
Relative to the Town of Avon's legal definition of family, I am writing in support of allowing the definition to
now include such people as nannies, caretakers, house keepers, and so on.
As we all know, this is an expensive community in which to live, and it would be helpful to allow non -
related adults who participate in assisting with households duties, i.e. caring for children, the elderly and
so on to be counted toward the definition of family. They are undertaking family related duties which
might make it easier to conceptualize broadening the definition of family. Many of us who do live here are
far away from our families, and need the extra assistance.
Thank you for your consideration on this.
Sincerely,
Amy Novak
Town of Avon resident
