(A) The Board of Trustees shall be empowered to create advisory boards, commissions, committees and similar panels (hereinafter referred to as "committee" or "committees" in this chapter 33) from time to time in order to further the public health, safety, comfort and welfare of the town and its constituents by conducting research on and evaluation of issues of public policy, and by making recommendations to the Board of Trustees for further consideration. The term advisory means that such panels are subordinate to the Board of Trustees, which has the ultimate legal and financial authority to establish and articulate policy for the town, and thus such committees are recommending bodies only.
(B) Committees may be temporary (ad hoc) or permanent in nature. All permanent committees shall be created by a separate ordinance and, unless otherwise specified in that ordinance, are governed by the provisions of this chapter 33, §§ 33.15 et seq. Temporary committees may be created by the Board of Trustees by simple motion at any time for the consideration of any particular question or matter of limited scope or duration. Temporary committees are governed by the provisions of this chapter 33, §§ 33.15 et seq.
