Select Board fills Budget Committee seats and votes to cap membership at seven
Summary
The Select Board appointed four residents to town committees, including two to the Budget Committee, and voted 3-1 to cap Budget Committee membership at seven, with Jim Tyrrell opposed.
The board approved multiple appointments to town committees at the July 9 meeting. Jim Tyrrell moved (seconded by Thomas Kingsbury) to appoint Tess Dana to the Parks, Open Space and Beautification Committee and Dylan Harry to the Conservation Committee; both motions passed unanimously. Tyrrell also moved to appoint Tom Klinepeter and Jeff Owens to the Budget Committee; those appointments passed unanimously and brought the Budget Committee membership to seven.
Select Board Chair Greg Huang-Dale then proposed a motion to formally cap the Budget Committee at seven members. Huang-Dale's motion, seconded by Thomas Kingsbury, passed 3-1 with Jim Tyrrell recording the lone opposition; board members discussed historical committee sizes and noted additional applications remained pending. Board staff indicated at least one additional application had been received.
