In other business, selectmen are seeking residents to serve on the town’s Budget Committee. There are only five or six members and there needs to be nine, according to a policy adopted in 2006. Interested members should go to the Town Office to be sworn in so they can be appointed by selectmen. No employee of the town may serve on the committee.
