Responsibilities of Delegates and Alternates

The Delegate, or Alternate Delegate in the absence of the Delegate, represents one of our 32 Berkshire municipalities, and as such, is presented by the mission of the Planning Commission with perspectives to balance and decisions to make, sometimes affecting his or her city or town and often the Region as a whole. Below is a list of some of the duties which a Delegate or Alternate should be prepared to fulfill.

  1. Attend six full Commissions meetings a year;
  2. Choose at least one of the Commission committees on which to serve actively, if possible, or on which to act in a non-active resource capacity;
  3. Participate in the making of long range policy for the Commission;
  4. Participate in the making of decisions which affect the Region;
  5. Act as a conduit for communicating information of value to your city , town or to the Commission, calling items of import to the attention of your Selectboard or Mayor, pertinent city or Town boards, or the Commission itself; and
  6. Ensure that your municipality always has representation at the Commission.
