Budget Committee Shrinks to Four Members After Resignation
Since its formation the Budget Committee had five members until last October when one member resigned due to concurrent Town Council duties. The committee has not filled the vacancy and appears to proceed with four members this year. Existing members fear a new appointee may slow work due to budget inexperience.
Fifth member could gain insight by attending committee meetings
The text argues that a fifth member who sits in on meetings until the report is written would gain valuable knowledge from discussions among committee members and department heads. If chosen from the town, he could contribute constructive ideas and become better prepared for future years, though it might slow current work.
