Background
The current town charter can be viewed on the Charter and Bylaws page.
Our charter specifies that a periodic review of the charter be done on a specific timeline:
At least once every ten (10) years, in each year ending in a one (1), a special committee to consist of nine (9) members shall be established for the purpose of reviewing this charter and to make a report, with recommendations, to the town meeting concerning any proposed amendments which said committee may determine to be necessary or desirable. The committee shall consist of nine (9) who shall be chosen as follows: the board of selectmen, the school committee, the housing authority and the board of library trustees shall designate one (1) person; the finance committee shall designate two (2) persons and three (3) persons shall be appointed by the town moderator. Persons appointed by the said agencies may, but need not, be members of the agency by which they are designated. The committee shall meet to organize forthwith following the final adjournment of the annual town meeting.
