At the next Town elections, seven members were elected by the voters. The ex-officio members were appointed by the Board they represent.
Meetings:
The Budget Committee meets on the second Monday of each month with additional meetings during budget preparation time as needed. All Budget Committee meetings are open to the public. Regular monthly meetings will be televised on Channel 21. Workshops are open to the public, but are not televised.
