Advisory Committee Workflow
The Advisory Committee is established by Article 14 of the Town’s General By-Laws in accordance with MGL c.39 § 16, and its actions and operations are further governed by its own self-imposed rules. (See Advisory Committee Rules, Policies and Procedures link). The Committee’s work addresses four main responsibilities:
- Staying apprised of the activities of Town departments and other boards/committees whose actions fall within the purview of Committee responsibilities;
- Recommending the upcoming fiscal year’s budget for consideration at Annual Town Meeting;
- Providing a Recommended Motion to Annual and Special Town Meetings for each Article in the associated Warrant; and,
- Approving or disapproving, in concert with the Select Board, distributions (transfers) from the Reserve Fund.
