The Municipal Budget Committee works with town department heads, the Sewer Dept., and the School Board to prepare a town budget for submission to voters at the March town elections. (Town budgets run from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31.)

Beginning in the summer, the committee meets monthly to discuss department budgets for the following year.

Meetings become weekly or bi-weekly as needed during October to January as department budgets are reviewed, revised, and finalized. Before the end of the year, the School Board and Sewer Commission present their proposed budgets to the budget committee, which can only recommend changes, not require them. Finally, warrant articles for financial items are reviewed and all is prepared for the town deliberative session held in late January prior to the March elections.

The Budget Committee consists of up to 12 residents who are elected at the March town elections for one-, two-, and three-year terms. The year next to each name is the year that the term of office ends, specifically the day after the March elections. Vacancies are filled, if necessary, as appointments by the Budget Committee, drawing on volunteers from the community.

At the March 8, 2022 election, Michael Juranty, Carol Angowski, and Julie Keane were re-elected for three-year terms.

The committee meets at either the Community Center on Whitten St. or at the Parish Hall on School St.
