Advisory & Finance Committee

Responsibilities

The Advisory and Finance Committee is an essential part of Plymouth Town government. Formed under the statutory requirements of Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 39, Section 16, the Advisory and Finance Committee is charged with making reports and recommendations to the Town on any and all municipal questions. 

While its' primary responsibility revolves around the detailed review of the Town's annual budget, making recommendations for revision, and presenting the budget to Town Meeting for approval, the Town Charter and Town Bylaws require the committee to consider all matters proposed to be acted on at all Town Meetings. See Advisory and Finance Committee Overview for more information.

The Advisory and Finance Committee is appointed by the Town Moderator. The Committee members serve three-year overlapping terms.
