The board works with the Town Administrator to assimilate this information (from all Town departments) to inform the Town residents of impending Capital expenditures facing the Town. This information is forwarded to the Finance Committee to assist them in performing their tasks. The Board reviews all the requests by time when needed and value to the Town. Then the board will provide the final request list
