Town approves minor change letting Community Preservation Committee recommend residents‑at‑large
Summary
Town meeting amended Chapter 15 to allow the Community Preservation Committee to recommend a resident‑at‑large appointment to the select board; the committee voted unanimously to recommend the language and the article passed by majority vote.
Town meeting voted by majority to amend Town Code Chapter 15 to add language allowing the Community Preservation Committee to recommend a resident‑at‑large appointment to the select board. The change adds language (eight words in the warrant) to create a formal recommendation process rather than leaving the appointment entirely to the chair’s determination.
The Community Preservation Committee voted unanimously to recommend approval and the select board also voted to recommend the article; the finance committee had no recommendation. After brief floor time, the moderator called the majority vote and the motion passed.
