The Selectboard chartered this committee to study Town Meeting on July 20, 2023, and it completed its business on July 18, 2024, after briefing recommendations (see below) to the School Board and Selectboard.

The mission of the Town Meeting Committee was:

• The Town Meeting Committee identifies options for enhancing local participatory democracy in traditional Town Meeting by conducting research, soliciting and considering public input, and making recommendations to the Selectboard and School Board by January 2025.
• The output of this committee should not be a single course of action, but a set of feasible, acceptable, and suitable options that the Selectboard and School Board can choose from to begin to implement with the 2025 Town Meeting, subject to ultimate approval by the voters of the Town.
• The committee should make an interim report at the 2024 Town Meeting and preceding information meetings.
