Charlton Select Board approves appointments, DPW bid awards, stormwater intermunicipal agreement, adopts procedures and creates attendance dashboard

The Town of Charlton Select Board on May 27 approved a slate of routine governance actions including committee appointments, bid awards for Department of Public Works materials and services, renewal of an intermunicipal agreement (IMA) for regional stormwater cooperation, adoption of select board rules and procedures, and the creation of an attendance dashboard for select board members pending legal review.
