Budget Committee

The Budget Committee of the Town of Durham was established through a Town Meeting vote in 1933 as the Town "voted to have a Budget Committee of nine members to be elected at Town Meeting from the floor, three (3) for 3 years, three (3) for 2 years, three (3) for 1 year. Three members shall be elected each year thereafter". There being no ordinance or bylaws created at the time of creation, these bylaws have been established for the purpose of establishing reasonable rules of procedure for Committee meetings and to promote the fair, orderly and efficient conduct of the Committee's proceedings and affairs. These bylaws shall govern the Committee's practices and procedures except as otherwise provided by law and shall be liberally construed so as to accomplish their purpose.

 

Vacancies: In the event of a vacancy in the membership, or if any member of the Committee during his/her term of office shall die, become incapacitated, resign, or cease to be a resident of Durham, the Select Board shall promptly appoint a person to serve until the next Annual Town Meeting, and the vacancy shall then be filled by election of a candidate for the remainder of the term.
