Finance Committee Member Needed

Currently, the East Bridgewater Finance Committee has one vacancy on its seven-member Committee. The purpose of the Finance Committee is to make recommendations to the Town Meeting on the annual Town budget and all articles that require an appropriation. The Finance Committee reviews each department's budget in detail and holds hearings on Town Meeting appropriation articles. In conjunction with the Town Administrator, the Finance Committee integrates revenue and expense projections to present a balanced budget to Town Meeting. The Finance Committee also votes on funding requests from the Reserve Fund and approves line-item transfers within a department or between two departments. Meetings are held at Town Hall, usually on a monthly schedule, but more frequently in the months before the Annual Town Meeting in May.
