AGENDA TITLE:
Title
Discussion of Staggered Terms for Advisory Committee on Public Safety Members
Body
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In order to maintain continuity and pass on historical knowledge, staggered terms on committees are recommended. On many Town Committees, a three-year term is offered to individuals interested in filling the volunteer positions. The three-year term provides the committee some continuity and historical knowledge when new members come to the committee. The ACOPS appointment is currently a one-year appointment cycle. If all members were replaced at one time, the historical knowledge and continuity that the committee has gained would be lost.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
There is no budgetary impact to modifying the terms of ACOPS members. Committee members would continue to be volunteers.
