What Should Be Done To Fix Town Meeting?

This week, Chelmsford Town Moderator Richard DeFreitas has announced the establishment of a new Advisory Rules Committee to set up a new framework on how Town Meetings are run in Chelmsford, including the possibility that some bylaws may be changed.

The new committee will consist of...

  • One Town Meeting Representative per precinct
  • The Town Clerk (ex-officio)
  • The Moderator (ex-officio)
The moderator is requesting that each precinct choose their own representative and inform the Town Clerk by Nov. 15, with meetings beginning on Dec. 15

With the establishment of this commission, today we want to ask you what your ideas would be to help fix Town Meeting?
