The Town Council Committees are required to maintain records of committee meetings and meet at least one time each quarter with a corresponding report to be provided to the entire Town Council of such meeting and proceedings thereafter. The purpose of the regular quarterly meetings is to assure continuity, recordkeeping, and reporting of events and activities to the entire Town Council.
(C) The Town Council President and/or Town Council can create special committees deemed appropriate to special and unique situations at hand that need specific attention by the Council.

These special committees are on a yearly basis, or less than one year depending on when created. They meet and report just as standing committees; however, unless renewed at the first Council meeting of any given year, the special committee is eliminated.
