Select Board approves appointments, accepts donations and grants Eversource conduit location
Summary
The board accepted $96 in recreation donations, confirmed multiple committee appointments and approved an Eversource grant of location to install about 33 feet of underground conduit to serve 29 Gin Road.
At its Oct. 27 meeting the Winchester Select Board accepted a $96 donation to the recreation department’s "neighbors helping neighbors" fund, made several staff and volunteer appointments and approved a utility grant of location.
Donations and Appointments: The board accepted donations and confirmed staff appointments proposed by Town Manager Steve, including the appointment of Nicholas Chachio as a part‑time civilian dispatcher (with the board waiving the 15‑day appointment period), reappointment of Tom Boule and appointment of Alexander Lee to the Conservation Commission, and appointments to the Council on Aging (Alan McDonald to a term ending March 31, 2026; Jing Zang to a term ending March 31, 2027) and the Wildwood Cemetery Advisory Committee (Caroline Woodward through May 31, 2028).
Eversource grant of location: The board opened and closed a public hearing on an Eversource grant of location for approximately 33 feet of conduit within the public right‑of‑way on Gin Road to serve a house at 29 Gin Road. Town engineering and utility representatives described the work as a routine underground conduit installation with standard restoration; no substantive public opposition was recorded and the board approved the grant by voice vote.
What’s next: Appointees will assume their roles per the stated terms; the town will coordinate any required permits and oversight for the Eversource work and will inform residents about timing and restoration.
