The reorganization of the committee’s leadership was a focus of the evening. Karen Raus was reelected as chair, a role she has held for the past years, with all present committee members voting in favor. Cindy Brown was reelected as vice-chair, with the committee recognizing her service, particularly during the intensive budget period in April and May.

Discussion on committee appointments revealed that some committees had not been active or had never met, prompting the committee to consider the possibility of dissolving them. The Open Space Preservation Committee was identified as defunct, with plans to remove it from the list of liaison assignments. The ADA Transition Plan Committee was also mentioned as potentially being dissolved due to inactivity and loss of purpose.

The meeting revealed discrepancies in the recording of term expirations and appointments for various committees. This prompted a discussion on the need for better record-keeping and clarification of the roles and terms of committee members. The Finance Committee acknowledged the efforts of the Town Clerk’s office in trying to rectify and streamline the process for determining term expirations.
