Sudbury Council on Aging votes to ask Selectboard to remove COA term limits and add two alternate members
Summary
At its Dec. 8 meeting the Sudbury Council on Aging unanimously approved sending the Selectboard a formal article to eliminate COA term limits and to add two alternate members; mover/second were not specified in the transcript. The measure now goes to the Selectboard for consideration before spring Town Meeting.
The Sudbury Council on Aging voted unanimously Dec. 8 to ask the Selectboard to file an article to eliminate term limits for COA members and to add two alternate board positions.
The action, discussed during the meeting’s general business, was described as a formal request that the Selectboard consider a bylaw change in advance of the spring Town Meeting. The motion was approved without recorded dissent; the transcript does not show who moved or seconded the motion.
Council Chair Paul Marotta led the discussion and confirmed the vote during the meeting. Board members who were present and took part in roll call included Mary Brauer, Dr. Joel Bauman, Carmine Gentile, Jane Keilty, Mary McLaughlin, Anna Newberg, Don Sherman and Patricia Tabloski.
The COA did not record additional procedural details in the minutes about next steps, such as a proposed warrant article text or timeline for submission to the Selectboard. The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Jan. 12, 2026, where members may follow up on implementation details.
Outcome: the COA’s request will proceed to the Selectboard; the transcript records the COA vote but does not specify subsequent Selectboard action or a Town Meeting schedule for the proposed bylaw change.
