Mission
The members of the Select Board are the chief elected authority for the town and constitute a three-member Board. Each members serves a three-year term with one member elected annually.
The Board has several responsibilities under State statute including, but not limited to, the power to prepare the town meeting warrant or agenda, appointments to town boards and offices, employment of professional administrative staff and town counsel, the power to sign warrants for the payment of town bills, and the authority to grant licenses and permits. In addition the Board sets policy and strategic direction, develops the annual town budget, coordinates the activities of other boards, and hears appeals and resolves problems that have not been settled at lower levels. The Board works with its Town Administrator who oversees the day-to-day operation of the Town under the Board’s direction.
Chain of Authority - In the event of an emergency where none of the select board members are available, the chain of authority would next pass to the chair of the finance committee and then the chair of the planning board. (Copied from the Select Board minutes dated 09/14/2009).
Meetings are held Wednesday of every week at 7:00 p.m. in Town Hall, except during summer months when meetings are every other week. There are, however, additions and cancellations so please be sure to contact the Town Administrator’s office for confirmation. Meeting dates are also posted on the calendar.
Anyone wishing to add an item to the agenda should do so on the Monday prior to the Wednesday meeting by calling (413) 628-4441 (ext. 5).
