Boxborough Select Board approves FY27 liaison assignments and multiple consent appointments
Summary
On June 23, 2026 the Select Board moved through liaison assignments and approved consent-agenda appointments and reappointments to town boards and committees; motions passed by voice vote and the board approved FY27 liaison rules 5-0.
The Boxborough Select Board reviewed and approved FY27 liaison rules, responsibilities and assignments for town boards, committees and commissions and then moved through a consent agenda of appointments and reappointments for multiple boards and committees on June 23.
Chair Bob presented a line-by-line review of the liaison list and members volunteered to keep or trade assignments (examples included housing trust, capital committee, design review board, water resources, sustainability and school committee liaisons). "For that one, that's fine," a member said when asked about the housing trust assignment; after discussion the chair moved to approve the FY27 select board liaison rules, responsibilities, and assignments "as presented (as amended)," and the motion was seconded. The board voted by voice; the motion was announced as passing 5-0.
Later in the meeting the board handled the consent agenda, appointing and reappointing individuals to town committees for terms ending 06/30/2027, 06/30/2028 and 06/30/2029. Among motions recorded in the minutes, a board member moved to appoint Bob to the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee for a term beginning immediately and ending 06/30/2028; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Several other consent-agenda motions followed; each was carried by voice vote with counts announced aloud (board repeatedly reported votes as 5-0 for those motions).
The board also approved the minutes of June 8 by motion and voice vote. At the meeting's end members moved to adjourn; the recorded adjournment vote was 4 yeas and 1 nay.

Board members directed staff to follow up on any liaison logistics (confirming committee willingness to have Select Board liaisons) and to publish the updated liaison list.
