Good afternoon Sangerville,
In the process of talking with residents and reviewing policies and old records, I have learned that Sangerville has a rich history of residents participating in town committees to help govern the town. With the exception of the planning board, budget committee and ad hoc town hall committee, it seems the rest of our committees have become somewhat dormant. My philosophy of municipal leadership, at least in part, is to listen to as many citizens as possible and encourage community involvement. I think I can safely say that position is supported by our select board. At our select board meeting tomorrow evening and I am sure the regular meetings in December, we will be discussing these committees. Tomorrow evening the budget committee will be appointed. The members of that committee appointed are from a sign-up sheet from town meeting last spring. Last Wednesday evening we had an informal meeting/work session with the members of the ad hoc, town hall committee. Tomorrow evening, we will be discussing, formally, some ideas that came out of that session, primarily a policy change to make that group a standing committee and making appointments to that committee, which I believe will still have some openings if everything discussed is enacted tomorrow evening. In addition to these, we have a need to appoint members to a board of appeals, and a road committee. These are both very important. We are required to have a board of appeals by state law and our own ordinance. The board of appeals primarily reviews planning board decisions that are appealed by the applicant. The road committee assists us in all aspects of planning and budgeting road projects.We also in upcoming meetings will be discussing the forestry committee, economic development committee, cemetery committee and recreation committee.I encourage everyone to attend select board meetings whenever they can. They are the first and third Wednesdays of every month at the fire station at 6:00 PM. This is the best way to know what is going on in your town and to get a chance to discuss anything with your select board. This is where all board appointments and policies are decided. If you are interested in a committee but are too busy to regularly attend, select board meetings you can drop by the office when we are open. I will be happy to chat with you about committees or any other town business. I can also be contacted by email at tmsangerville@sangervilleme.com
