Advisory Committees

From time to time, the Town Council appoints advisory committees of town residents to perform detailed studies of issues that are important to the Town. These committees may work with the Town Manager, town staff members, and other individuals and report their findings to the Mayor and Town Council for formal town action. Residents who would like to serve on an Advisory Committee are encouraged to contact any member of the Town Council or the Town Clerk.

Long Term Planning Advisory Committee

The Long Term Planning Advisory Committee was formed to study several issues that involve the relationships between the Town, the Developer, the Club, and local government entities. These issues have included:

  • Analysis of town codes

  • Refuse collection and recycling

  • Review of the Town Charter

  • Review of building codes

  • Requirements for this website

At its meeting on May 6, 2009 the Town Council agreed to eliminate the Long Term Planning Advisory Committee from a standing committee to an ad hoc committee.
