Select Board establishes Real Property Asset Board to review town property holdings and acquisition priorities
Summary
The Select Board voted to create a Select Board Real Property Asset Board to inventory Town‑owned assets and recommend acquisition/disposition priorities; the board will include staff liaisons and community representatives and report back with an initial inventory and recommended work plan.
On March 18 the Select Board voted unanimously to create a Select Board Real Property Asset Board to advise the Select Board on Town‑owned real property, acquisitions and disposition priorities. The board’s charge directs it to compile an inventory of Town properties and to recommend policies and priorities for acquisition, disposal and use.
The board will include members selected by the Select Board and representatives from key commissions; members will include town staff liaisons from planning and finance. During discussion Select Board members emphasized the need for a broad inventory (not only buildings) and recommended that the Select Board retain flexibility in appointing members with institutional knowledge; the motion as approved included language encouraging (but not mandating) that one appointee have deep institutional knowledge of town boards and processes. Staff will provide the full town property inventory and an initial work plan for the new board.
