Greenwich Representative Town Meeting (RTM): A Unique Form of Local Government

The Greenwich Representative Town Meeting (RTM), established in 1933, serves as the town's legislative body with 230 members across 12 districts, evolving from the New England town meeting tradition. The RTM holds significant responsibilities, including approving expenditures over $5,000, reviewing and approving the town budget, passing ordinances, and acting as the final planning authority on municipal improvements. Despite challenges such as balancing diverse opinions and addressing contemporary concerns, the RTM's large size is considered a key strength, allowing for broad community participation and adaptability, as demonstrated during the Covid-19 pandemic.
