Summary
The Select Board appointed James Kelly to the Agricultural Commission and reappointed Ben Webb to the Housing Commission, announced Tim Shamsky as the senior-center van driver, and accepted the retirement/resignation of Lori Neil effective Jan. 7, 2026.
The chair announced several personnel and volunteer changes at the Sept. 22 Select Board meeting.
Appointments: The board moved to appoint James Kelly to the Agricultural Commission; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board then voted to reappoint Ben Webb to the Housing Commission after noting Webb’s request in a letter.
Senior-center staffing: The board announced a vacancy created by the prior driver’s retirement and said Tim Shamsky has been appointed as the senior-center van driver; staff reported Shamsky is in training. Members welcomed the appointment.
Resignation accepted: The board read a letter from Lori Neil, assistant to the senior-center director, indicating she will retire effective Jan. 7, 2026, and moved to accept her resignation with thanks; the motion carried.
What this means: The appointments fill volunteer and operational needs for the town. The board did not record roll-call vote tallies in the transcript; actions were approved by voice vote or announced appointment.
Next steps: Staff will post the senior‑center vacancy and follow hiring procedures for future replacements; commissioners will proceed with the newly appointed members’ onboarding.
