Summary
The board approved proclamations recognizing Public Safety Telecommunicators Week and a firefighter; reappointed several committee members; approved a five‑year ceremonial agreement with the Concord Independent Battery and authorized Concord Pride proclamations and flags for June 6.
The Select Board’s consent agenda on April 6 included a series of routine but substantive approvals.
The board adopted a proclamation recognizing Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (April 12–18) and read a separate proclamation honoring firefighter Jesse Keeney for providing medical assistance during an in‑flight emergency. The board also approved multiple appointments and reappointments: Andrew Boardman (Community Preservation Committee), Pamela Ressler and James Fahey (Library Committee), Christopher Schachner (Financial Audit Advisory Committee representative), and Steve Newbold (Zoning Board of Appeals). One member recused from a specific reappointment vote.
The board approved a new five‑year agreement with the Concord Independent Battery for ceremonial cannon firings on specified 2026 dates (including Patriots Day and Memorial Day events) and authorized logistical details. Finally, the board approved a proclamation and flag‑raising authorization for Concord Pride (PrideFest) scheduled for June 6, 2026; board members noted the proclamation and the logistical flag program are separate approvals.
All consent items were approved by voice votes as listed in the meeting record.
