Council approves two mayoral appointments to School Fund Committee
Summary
The Town Council approved two mayoral appointments to the newly re-established School Fund Committee, which will steward the Nathaniel Thayer trust; one appointment was unanimous and one carried with one abstention.
The Town Council approved two same-night mayoral appointments on April 15 to the re-established School Fund Committee, restoring a body described as the steward of the Nathaniel Thayer estate trust.
Mayor Aaron Joyce said the committee was re-established after the mayoral form of government transition omitted it from the charter update, and that the Thayer trust holds approximately $2.7 million accessible only through advisement of a school fund committee as stated in the will. Joyce said he intended to appoint Justin Rollo and a resident councilor to the committee in recognition of their knowledge of town and school challenges.
Votes: Order 2631 (appointment of Justin Rollo) passed unanimously. Order 2632 (appointment of Peter Moran) passed with one abstention recorded on the audio; the transcript does not identify which councilor abstained.
What it means: The committee will advise on how the Thayer estate funds are used for local educational purposes; additional administrative steps and formal committee onboarding were not detailed in the meeting record.
