Southborough Affordable Housing Trust appoints Ellen Myra as CPC representative
Summary
The Board of Trustees of the Town of Southborough Affordable Housing Trust voted to appoint Trustee Ellen Myra as the trust's representative to the CPC through June 30, 2026, contingent on her resigning an at-large seat.
The Board of Trustees of the Town of Southborough Affordable Housing Trust voted unanimously to appoint Trustee Ellen Myra as the trust’s representative to the CPC for a term expiring June 30, 2026, subject to Myra’s resignation from an at‑large seat on the same committee.
The appointment matters because the trust has an application before the CPC, and the trustees expect the CPC to consider the trust’s submission at its meeting next week. Trustees discussed logistics for replacing Myra’s at‑large seat and scheduling upcoming meetings to prepare the trust’s presentation to the CPC.
Trustee Alan nominated Myra and the motion was seconded. Trustees Hal, Ellen Myra, Jesse and Doug voted “aye,” and the chair announced the motion passed in the affirmative. The trustees specified the appointment is contingent on Myra formally resigning her at‑large seat before she is sworn in as the trust representative.
Trustees discussed the resignation process and next steps. A trustee summarized the clerk’s process: Myra should submit a resignation letter to the clerk’s office and then be sworn in. Trustee Doug said he would send a note to Jim Hagerty notifying him of the appointment if the board voted in the affirmative. Myra said she understood the requirement to resign and that she was unsure of the exact resignation procedure.
The board also discussed attendance and scheduling. Trustees noted that if more than two trustees attend the CPC meeting or other gatherings, the meeting must be posted. The trustees spoke about dates: the CPC meeting next Thursday (February 6) was mentioned as the event where the trust’s application will be considered; trustees also discussed meeting on Feb. 11, Feb. 12 (a tentative 10 a.m. Zoom meeting), and other dates to continue work on a property under review. The board agreed Doug would email Jim Hagerty and that trustees would continue scheduling by email if the Feb. 12 date did not work.
No ordinance, statute, or other legal authority was cited during the discussion, and no other formal actions—such as filling the now-vacant at‑large seat—were completed at the meeting.
