SECRETARY: Judith P. Magnani

ADMINISTRATOR: Jill Irving Bishop

Regular meetings are usually scheduled on the last Tuesday of each month. During Town Meeting preparation meetings are held as needed.

The Finance Committee was created in 1900 by a Town Meeting vote before the State statute that made it mandatory.

The Committee consists of fifteen members appointed by Town Meeting who serve three-year terms.

The Finance Committee evaluates all financial articles including the operating budget and Capital Improvements Program to be considered by Town Meeting and recommends to Town Meeting on each of these articles. Articles with their recommendations and explanations are then printed in a local newspaper and in the Warrant Booklet, which is sent to all Town Meeting members for their consideration prior to Town Meeting.

The Committee administers the Reserve Fund, which provides funding for extraordinary or unforeseen expenditures for the best interests of the town between Town meetings.
