which will include a schedule of public progress reports through which the Committee will
consult with the Selectmen as to the progress of their efforts. The Initiating Committee will
frame and provide context to the strategic goal setting effort. In that regard, the resources in
terms of staff, data and materials available and needed for this effort will be identified. The
