The Board of Selectmen appointed Annette Mitchell and Bruce Meanen to the Town of Charlton Cultural Council for three-year terms expiring June 30, 2027.

A recommendation attached to the meeting materials proposed both appointments; a board member recommended that the board make the appointments and another selectman seconded. With no discussion, the board voted unanimously in favor.

Why it matters: Cultural council appointments determine who represents the town on arts and cultural grant decisions and public programming. The Cultural Council typically reviews and makes recommendations on applications for local cultural funding and community arts events.

Details from the meeting: the town administrator presented the recommendation and asked the board to appoint the two candidates. A motion to accept the appointments was moved and seconded; the chair called for a vote and the board voted "Aye" unanimously.

Next steps: the appointees will serve through June 30, 2027. No additional duties, compensation, or onboarding details were specified at the meeting.
