Select Board creates one-year ad hoc Public Safety Advisory Committee
Summary
The Select Board authorized the town manager to form a five-member ad hoc Public Safety Advisory Committee with non-voting liaisons from fire, EMS, the sheriff and EMA; the committee will produce recommendations, grant proposals and community dashboards.
The Select Board voted to authorize the Town Manager to create an ad hoc Public Safety Advisory Committee consisting of five voting members and non-voting representatives from the fire department, EMS, the sheriff's office and EMA. The committee is intended to be ad hoc for one year and then re-evaluated.
John summarized a survey of potential members and scope areas and said most respondents supported an advisory role focused on reviewing dispatch trends, response times, seasonal population impacts, traffic and pedestrian safety and grant opportunities. "It looked like for the most part it's consistent that the committee purpose would be a public-safety advisory committee," staff said.
Board members asked about membership size, alternates and the solicitation timeline; the manager will finalize a scope statement and advertise for volunteers with a goal of appointing members by the end of September. The board recorded the motion to form the committee and authorized staff recruitment; the motion passed unanimously.
