| The
Finance Committee is comprised of 15 volunteers appointed by the Town
Moderator. The Committee is empowered by the Town Charter to advise
and to make recommendations to the Town Meeting Representatives as
to its judgments on all articles and budgets of the warrant report.
The Committee acts as an advisory committee on all financial matters
of the Town and reports its recommendations to each residence prior
to each Annual or Special Town Meeting.
The Finance
Committee spends a significant amount of time reviewing the annual
operating and capital budget of the Town. Our review includes consideration
of historical expenditures, department requests, Town Administrator
recommendations and the recommendations of other Boards and Committees.
In all cases, the Finance Committee attempts to obtain both sides
of an issue in order to insure that our ultimate recommendation
is well informed. In certain cases, the Finance Committee will form
sub-committees to meet with departments that have larger operating
budgets that require more time for complete review. The Finance
Committee is always willing to meet with any department or group
that wishes to discuss their specific situation. A similar process
is followed for all other warrant articles that have financial implications.
The majority opinion of the Finance Committee is then presented
to all residents and Town Meeting Members prior to each Town Meeting.
The Committee
has sole responsibility for the disbursement of monies from the
Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund is a budget set at the beginning
of each year to provide for extraordinary or unforeseen expenditures.
The Finance
Committee meets on Mondays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. prior to Town
Meetings, at Town Hall. It may be necessary to hold additional meetings
from time to time in order to fulfill the duties and responsibilities
of the Committee.
All Finance
Committee meetings are open to the public. The dates and times of
all meetings are announced and posted in advance at Town Hall.
