Committees
The purpose of committees, whether in government or in industry, is to provide a panel to focus on a particular subject matter. Ideally, these committees consist of a broad spectrum of members who represent the varied and often complex aspects characteristic of most of matters. The town of Johnsburg presently has fourteen (14) official committees commonly referred to as standing committees. The term “standing committee” means that the committees have been formed at one time or another in the past and are effective in perpetuity or until dissolved by the board. Each committee has at least one board member that provides oversight. Board designees do not necessarily act as—and frequently are not—the chairpersons for their respective committee. Board members tasked with a committee are responsible for populating that committee. That can be done a number of ways but remains at the discretion of the oversight member(s). Any public citizen that wishes to serve on a committee should contact the respective board member of that particular committee and apply for a seat. Contact coordinates can be found on the Town’s website. Standing committees receive board member assignments each year at the Town’s Organizational Meeting of which the next is scheduled for January 2, 2024. The Town of Johnsburg standing committees for 2023 and their board designees are: Committee Board Designees Highway Justin Gonyo Pete Hoskins Solid Waste & Sewer Justin Gonyo Arnold Stevens Fire & EMS Justin Gonyo Arnold Stevens Planning & Zoning Gene Arsenault Johnsburg Garage Gene Arsenault Buildings Gene Arsenault Pete Hoskins Parks & Recreation Gene Arsenault Pete Hoskins Tannery Pond Center Gene Arsenault Pete Hoskins Ski Bowl Drainage Mitigation Project Gene Arsenault Pete Hoskins Personnel Justin Gonyo Pete Hoskins Marketing & Economic Development Gene Arsenault Pete Hoskins Comprehensive Plan Update Committee Gene Arsenault Pete Hoskins Water and Water District Repairs Arnold Stevens Sewer Committee Justin Gonyo Arnold Stevens Aside from standing committees, there are a number of other committees that have been formed by members of the town. These committees are separate and independent of the Town and act solely in an advisory capacity if at all. Participation in those committees is at the discretion of their members; the Town has neither influence nor control over their operations. |
