The Ad Hoc Committee for Best Practices in Northampton Decision-Making
was appointed by the Northampton City Council in February 2008. In
keeping with the Council’s resolution and our Mission Statement, will
be reviewing "….the City’s municipal decision-making practices …
and recommending practices that will foster the general democratic
enterprise of being responsive and responsible to the fiscal,
economic, social, and environmental interests of its citizens". The
Committee has adopted a consensus model for decision-making. Visit the
committee’s webpage for members’ contact information, the Mission
Statement, agendas, minutes, links to info about best practices and

meetings and forums are being planned.
