• VOLUNTEERS and WORKERS NEEDED: ​ 

1. Board of Review: An alternate member is needed on this citizen's review board that sits 3 times a year to hear protests to constituents' tax property assessments, plus grants exemptions (such as veterans or poverty) and corrects errors in records.  Go to our "BOR" webpage for more information. Compensation is provided.
2. Cemetery Committee: If you're interested in the historical aspects of our two cemeteries, we are looking for someone to work on an historical compendium documenting some of the more interesting gravesites.  We are also looking for a committee member who has family in East Cemetery and would like to be involved with the business end of running a cemetery.  See Supervisor Ferris.
3. Budget & Finances Committee: This "sub" committee is a new idea and never been formed before.  Pending approval of the board, it will serve as another layer to our government's system of checks-as-balances.  Details as to the scope of the work will be forthcoming. Contact Supervisor Ferris.​​
