Re: [LincolnTalk] Lincoln's Governance

I was a Select for 12 years. Each Select had an assignment as a liaison to other boards, committees & commissions, but only in a passive way. We observed and answered questions if asked and if the subject was within our jurisdiction. There was a fairly bright line dividing jurisdictions. Most ap

Rob - Margaret's response hits the most important points. To the extent you also were asking where to find the "charge" to each committee / commission, I would add only the following: - You can find a list of all of those groups on the Town website

There are standing committees whose charge is essentially to be or become experts in a certain area and advise the selects. Ro

Re: [LincolnTalk] Lincoln's Governance

OK, I would love to know how many 'charges' have been created over the last 10 years and how many asked for specific recommendations (which lends the team assigned to passionately advocate for a specific position) vs how many asked the team to present back on options and pros/cons for those options

There is a formal record of the charge. I’m not sure where on the town website those exist of if you would have to ask at town hall On Thu, Jan 4, 2024 at 1:46 PM Robert Ahlert wrote: > That makes sense, like any project there is a project charter and > objectives. > > Is this a formal document

That makes sense, like any project there is a project charter and objectives. Is this a formal document that Is on the public record or informal? Rob *Robert Ahlert* | *781.738.1069* | robahl...@gmail.com On Thu, Jan 4, 2024 at 1:41 PM Donald seckler wrote: > The term and work of a committee

Re: [LincolnTalk] Lincoln's Governance

The term and work of a committee are determined by the “charge” that the Selects formulate when they solicit volunteers. When the work is complete the committee disbands.The charge is the blueprint and the contract regulating the process.Thanks.Don SecklerSent via cellOn Jan 4, 2024, at 12:47 PM, P

Rob - Someone else with a longer history & better memory than I probably could answer your interesting historical trend question better than I could. But for what it's worth, my impression is that it has depended on the topic at hand. E.g., in the last few years since I have been on the Lincoln Gr

Re: [LincolnTalk] Lincoln's Governance

Has it always been done this way that advisory committees come up with specific recommendations rather than just options with corresponding pros and cons? Or does it depend on the topic at hand if they are creating recommendations versus just options? Rob *Robert Ahlert* | *781.738.1069* | robahl

Bob - I agree that any such presentation by a Town committee at Town Meeting should make a full good-faith attempt to be fair and accurate. I haven't noticed any deviations from that general rule. However, I do not agree that all such presentations should be "neutral." Rather, it is often very app
