Editor's Note: The provisions of this ordinance were originally adopted as Ch. 72, but were redesignated to fit into the organizational structure of the Code.
The purpose of this chapter shall be to ensure that the budget process conforms to the requirements of the Town Charter and that the final version be the product of a deliberative and open public process.
All meetings of the Finance Committee must be held in a location that has cable television access. These meetings shall be televised on the public access station unless circumstances beyond the control of the Town, such as an equipment failure, prevent the transmission of the image.
The meeting room selected shall have the capacity to seat at least 40 people and must be fully accessible to the public, including persons with disabilities.
Meetings must be scheduled at a time that is convenient for all Finance Committee members and does not exclude any member from attending because the member is required to carry out other municipal duties.
Should any section or provision of this chapter be declared by any court to be invalid or unenforceable as enacted, such a decision shall not invalidate any other section or provision and the court shall have the power to and shall enforce the remaining provisions of this chapter according to their purposes and effect when enacted.
