Sudbury Historical Commission approves inventory contract, minutes and meeting schedule; finance balance reported
Summary
The commission voted to spend up to $700 to contract an inventory of the South Sudbury Train Station setting, approved Nov. 18 meeting minutes, reviewed a $6,300 general-fund balance and agreed an amended 2026 meeting schedule before adjourning.
The Sudbury Historical Commission approved several routine actions at its Dec. 9 meeting, including contracting for a historic-resource inventory, approving prior meeting minutes and setting open-house dates.
On a motion by Chair Chris Hagger, seconded by Commissioner Steven Greene, the commission voted 6–0 to approve spending up to $700 from the SHC general fund to contract with Andy Roblee for a complete inventory of the South Sudbury Train Station setting. Hagger had proposed the expanded inventory as an alternative to one of four planned granite markers.
The commission also voted 6–0 to approve the Nov. 18, 2025 meeting minutes as edited. Treasurer Chris Durall reported a remaining balance of $6,300 in the SHC general fund; Commissioner Jan Costa inquired about the budget’s approval status (the minutes do not specify the answer).
Commissioners agreed to an amended schedule of meeting dates for 2026 and the commission voted 6–0 to adjourn at 9:58 p.m.
