[Adopted 5-2-2005 ATM, Art. 24]
[Amended 11-13-2017 FYTM, Art. 13]
There is hereby appointed a Agricultural Commission,
consisting of seven members. The Commission members shall be appointed
by the Select Board for a term of three years; provided, however,
that the initial appointments shall be staggered so that three members
shall be initially appointed for a three-year term, two members shall
be initially appointed for a two-year term, and the remaining two
members shall be initially appointed for a one-year term; thereafter,
all members shall be appointed for three-year terms. Any member of
the Commission may be removed by the Select Board, with prior notice
to the member and a hearing, for good cause.
To guide its activities, the Commission shall
develop a work plan which may include its service as a facilitator
to encourage the pursuit of agriculture in Brewster, its promotion
of agriculturally based economic opportunities within the Town, its
education of other Town boards, committees and departments about farming
related issues, its efforts to preserve the agricultural lands currently
owned by the Town, its pursuit of initiatives for the creation of
a sustainable, agricultural community.
