Ad Hoc Committees
What is an Ad Hoc Committee?
An ad hoc committee is a temporary and task-specific committee formed to address particular issues or projects that are not within the scope of standing committees. Its mission is to investigate specific matters, formulate recommendations, and report back to the appointing authority. Once their task is completed, ad hoc committees are typically disbanded.
Current Ad Hoc Committees
The role of the Master Plan Implementation Committee is to serve as a facilitator and coordinator of the implementation process and to report annually to Town Meeting regarding the Town’s progress in implementing the recommendations. In addition, the Committee will assist the Planning Board with any amendments that may be needed to either the Master Plan document or the Implementation Table over time.
Additionally, the role of the Committee is:
- to alert respective boards or departments of the recommendations included in the Master Plan and not to enforce or to engage in actual implementation of the recommendations.
- to gather results and findings of the respective parties in order to keep the Master Plan recommendations updated.
- to periodically report back to the Planning Board on the progress of implementation of the recommendations in the Master Plan.
The Master Plan outlines the recommended composition of the Implementation Committee to include a representative of the following entities:

- Member of the 2021 Master Plan Committee
