[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Meeting of the Town of Sudbury
as Art. XXV of the General Bylaws. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Amended 5-7-2013 ATM]
There shall be a committee known as the "Capital Improvement
Advisory Committee" (CIAC) composed of seven members: six members
appointed by the Select Board and one member appointed by the Finance
Committee. The CIAC shall choose its officers annually. The term of
office shall be three years, not more than three of which shall expire
within the same year. Members of standing boards and committees, as
well as Town or school employees, shall be precluded from membership
on the CIAC. CIAC members may serve on ad hoc committees created by
the Select Board.
[Amended 5-7-2018 ATM; 5-7-2019 ATM]
The CIAC shall study all capital proposals which involve major
tangible items with a total project cost of more than $100,000 in
a single year or over $200,000 in multiple years and which would likely
require an article at Town Meeting for the project's authorization.
The CIAC shall make a report with recommendations to the Finance Committee
and the Select Board on these proposals.
The Sudbury Town Manager shall develop an operating budget for
proposed capital expenditures for the upcoming fiscal year, containing
those items whose costs do not meet this threshold and are to be included
in the annual budget and financing plan submitted to Town Meeting.
The Town Manager shall work with representatives of the Sudbury Public
Schools and the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School in developing
this budget. This capital expenditures budget shall be submitted to
the Sudbury Finance Committee at the same time as the budgets of other
Sudbury cost centers.
