Cambridge Planning Board welcomes new member Carolyn Zern at May meeting

The Cambridge Planning Board convened on May 20, 2025, at 6:30 PM, with Vice Chair Tom Sanovich leading the meeting. This session marked the first for new board member Carolyn Zern, who was welcomed by Sanovich.

The meeting began with a reminder of the remote participation guidelines established under Massachusetts law, allowing members and the public to engage in the proceedings via live stream. Sanovich emphasized the importance of stating names before speaking and noted that all votes would be conducted by roll call. Members of the public were muted until the designated public comment period.

Attendance was confirmed by Jeff Roberts from Community Development, who verified that all board members were present and could hear and see the meeting clearly. Six planning board members and two associate members were confirmed as present, ensuring a quorum for the meeting.

The session proceeded smoothly, with all technical aspects functioning as intended, setting the stage for further discussions and agenda items in subsequent parts of the meeting.
