Town Governance Committee Seeking Public Input

With plans to discuss the possibility of adding a "Recall Provision" to the town's charter, the Concord Town Governance Study Committee is seeking public input on that and other issues. 

Appointed by the Board of Selectmen following the 2013 Annual Town Meeting, the Town Governance Committee's mission, according to the town website, "is to review the town’s charter and its form of government, evaluating whether any changes would be beneficial to the town." 

A discussion of Recall of Elected Officials is scheduled for the Committee’s meeting at 8:15 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at the Planning and Land Management Building at 141 Keyes Road.  

Public input to the Committee is welcomed on the issue of Recall or any other charter/governance related topic, according to the town website. Here's how to weigh in: 

• Send written comments to the Committee via e-mail (tgsc@concordma.gov) or via postal mail (c/o Town Clerk, P.O. Box 535, Concord, MA 01742).  Written comments may also be delivered in person to the Town Clerk’s Office on the 1st floor of the Town House, 22 Monument Square.  All written comments will be distributed to the Committee members.
• All meetings are open to the public and there is an opportunity for public comments towards the end of each of the Committee’s meetings.
