Summary
At its Feb. 25 meeting the Town of Charlton Select Board unanimously approved minutes, several appointments, the town's street address numbering policy and a National Grid request to install a joint utility pole on Northside Road.
CHARLTON, Mass. — The Town of Charlton Select Board on Feb. 25 unanimously approved a slate of routine actions, including volunteer appointments, adoption of a street address numbering policy and a National Grid request to place a joint utility pole on Northside Road.
The board approved the minutes from its Feb. 11 meeting and appointed Rebecca Cook to the Council on Aging to fill a vacancy with a term expiring June 30, 2027. The board also appointed Matt Powers to the Old Home Day Committee (term to expire June 30, 2025) and named Jesse Nye and Anthony Gribbons as the insurance advisory committee representatives for the fire and police departments, respectively. The board approved the town's 2024 annual talent report.
The board voted to adopt a formal street address numbering policy that the building commissioner and department heads drafted following a special town meeting in the fall. The board discussed the draft, received no additional comments at this meeting and voted to adopt the policy as presented.
During a public hearing at 6:45 p.m., the board considered a petition from National Grid and Verizon New England to install one joint-owned pole on Northside Road to relocate existing wire for a new residential service. The town clerk's notice to abutters was read into the record; the petition had been reviewed and recommended by the police chief and the DPW superintendent and the board received no public objections. After closing the hearing the board voted to approve the pole installation.
All motions recorded at this meeting passed by unanimous voice vote. Where individual movers and seconders were not named in the public record, the minutes show motions and seconds were made and the board voted "aye" on each item.
The board recessed after the action items and then adjourned. The next regular meeting is scheduled for March 11, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. in Meeting Room 1 at 137 Main Street.
