Town government is administered by an elected three-member Board of Selectmen, with the position of First Selectman being full time. The legislative body of our municipality is the Town Meeting. The annual town meeting is held the third Friday in January. Fiscal Affairs are reviewed and approved by a Board of Finance. The annual budget meeting is held the third Friday in May. Other town meetings are held as needed. The town encourages involvement in community activities, boards and commissions. Many residents volunteer and some even serve in multiple positions. Public participation is always welcome. Meeting schedules and agendas are posted in the office of the Town Clerk.
