Mission Statement

The Capital Improvement Committee is a seven-member committee with four appointed by the Board of Selectmen and three by the Moderator to a three-year term. Capital Projects are defined as projects or assets that cost at least $5,000 and have a useful life of at least 5 years. In the fall, the Capital Improvement Committee will call Department Heads to review their capital project requests for the upcoming fiscal year. After the reviews are completed the CIC rates and ranks each project based on Department priority, budget impact, public safety, equipment replacement, efficiency, useful life, cost reduction, benefit to the Town and alignment with the Master Plan. The goal is to provide an impartial perspective for the Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator as they develop a balanced budget for the next fiscal year.
