established January 1968 by Town Assembly
The Advisory Committee is made up of the chairpersons of all the standing committees and the trustees, plus the town officers and the chair of the Board of Assessors. It acts as a coordinating committee and sets the agenda for the town meetings. The chairperson of the Advisory Committee, a town officer, is elected each year at the March meeting.
The Advisory Committee meets three weeks before town meetings, that is, the first Monday in January, March, June, and September unless that day is a holiday.

In October, 2020, the judge ruled in the village’s favor, saying the funds were spent appropriately. What remains is to create a trust to oversee the Schroeder bequest to the village, money left to the village by Johanna Schroeder in her will.
