BUDGET COMMITTEE

The Barre Town charter requires the annual appointment of a committee of five Town voters who are equal partners with the Selectboard when studying and analyzing the Town Manager’s proposed budgets for eight different funds.  The five Budget Committee members and five Selectboard members combine to recommend a budget to the Selectboard   The Selectboard has final responsibility for setting General Fund and Highway Fund budgets that are submitted to voters for approval.

Budget Committee recruitment begins in December.  In early January the Selectboard appoints two of the five committee members.  The Town Clerk-Treasurer appoints one member. These three appointees select two more members before January 31.  Budget Committee terms expire when the General Fund and Highway Fund budgets receive voter approval in May.

The committee meets with the Selectboard on Tuesday nights from early February through March (or early April depending on need).  Extra meetings may be scheduled if more question-answer time with the Town Manager and department heads is needed.  Committee members may, if they chose, participate in the Selectboard’s budget presentations to the public. 

For information about the budget, go to General Government Information.
