Overview
The Town’s Home Rule Charter provides the ability for Town Council to create advisory committees. The Town on May 23, 2016, established an Environmental Advisory Committee to advise the Council on a variety of matters concerning the environment in the Town.
The committee helps develop and recommend policies and programs to Town Council, regarding sustainability, to preserve and enhance aspects of the Town’s character and address environmental, economy and equity issues in the Town.
The committee consists of seven members who are Town residents appointed by Town Council serving a staggered four-year term, plus one Council member who serves as liaison to Council, a junior member who serves as a liaison to the youth of the community and a staff member who serves as a contact point for the public.
