Brookfield selectboard nominates five voting members and two alternates to Agricultural Commission
Summary
At a virtual meeting, the selectboard moved and approved nominations to the Agricultural Commission with staggered terms intended to avoid replacing all members at once; the chair said nominees will be sworn in at the Monday meeting.
The meeting chair announced nominations to the Brookfield Agricultural Commission, saying the goal was to stagger terms so only one or two seats come up each year. The slate included Ed Nason (one-year term), Liz Cantrell (one year), Phil Emilio (two years), Caitlin Shaw (two years) and Nadia Carpenter (three years), with Frank Frazier and Eric Cantrell named as alternates.
The chair moved the nominations and a second was offered by another selectboard member; the motion included one-year terms effective through March '26 and was approved by voice vote. "Nadia, you have your committee, and I will go to that meeting and take care of the swearing in," the chair said after the vote.
Members discussed timing for the first election cycle and confirmed the staggered terms were intended so the town elects only one or two new members each year rather than replacing the full slate at once. The chair and staff said all nomination paperwork will be forwarded to the town clerk and that sworn-in members will attend the Agricultural Commission’s first meeting the following Monday.
The action does not list an individual roll-call tally in the transcript; the motion passed by voice vote.
