Select Board swears in two new planning‑board members
Summary
At its May 20 meeting the Boscawen Select Board appointed and administered oaths to Karly Walsh and Pauline E. Dawson as members of the town planning board. Both appointees were welcomed and the board discussed remaining signatures and membership counts.
The Boscawen Select Board on May 20 appointed two residents to the town planning board and administered their oaths of office.
Karly Walsh introduced herself as a Boscawen resident and told the board she had prior small‑business experience and a military family background. The board read the formal appointment language and Walsh repeated the oath before members welcomed her to the planning board.
Later in the meeting the board appointed Pauline E. Dawson and administered the oath for her appointment as well. Board members noted past service by Dawson and discussed completing required signatures and recording the oath with the town clerk.
Why it matters: The planning board sets zoning, subdivision and site‑plan review recommendations that affect development and land use in town. Filling vacancies restores the board’s capacity to review applications and hold hearings.
Board process and next steps: Select Board members confirmed paperwork requirements and recorded that both appointees will serve until successors are chosen and qualified. The board said outstanding appointments requiring town‑clerk action will be completed in follow‑up.
The meeting proceeded to other agenda items after the swearing‑in ceremonies.
