Northborough Select Board reorganizes leadership, appoints committee representatives
Summary
The Select Board completed its annual reorganization, confirming new leadership, approving minutes with two abstentions, and ratifying appointments including a voting representative to the fire-station building committee and members of an interview subcommittee.
The Northborough Select Board completed its annual reorganization at its May 18 meeting, confirming its new leadership and assigning members to key committees.
Town clerk Damen Bartekch called the meeting to order at 6:31 p.m. and led the roll call for the board. Nominations were opened for chair, vice chair and clerk; after roll-call voting the meeting was turned over to the newly appointed chair.
The board then approved meeting minutes for April 6, 9 and 10, 2026 as presented. The town recorded two abstentions on that vote: Leslie Ran and Jeff Oagy did not vote on the minutes.
The board ratified the town administrator’s appointment of Michael (Mike) Tisian as the select board’s voting representative to the fire station building committee. The motion to ratify the appointment was seconded and passed on roll call.
Separately, the Select Board appointed Jeff Oagai and Leslie Rutan to serve on the interview subcommittee that screens applicants for town boards, committees, commissions and councils.
The meeting’s procedural business concluded with staff confirmation of next steps on outstanding items and direction to include additional background materials for committee appointments and minutes where helpful.
What’s next: The appointments take effect immediately; the Select Board will receive regular updates from the fire station building committee and the interview subcommittee when those groups return recommendations to the full board.
