Planning Board appoints Tanner Jacques to fill vacancy until Town Meeting 2026
Summary
Following a resignation, the Springfield Planning Board unanimously appointed Tanner Jacques to fill a member seat until Town Meeting 2026; Gene Hayes expressed interest in an alternate seat but the board noted potential legal issues because Hayes serves on the ZBA.
At its Nov. 20, 2025 meeting, the Springfield Planning Board appointed Tanner Jacques to serve as a member until Town Meeting 2026 after the resignation of board member Dan Saulnier. Chair Mike Howard moved for the appointment and Don Hill seconded; the minutes record the appointment as approved unanimously.
Member Gene Hayes told the board he was interested in an alternate appointment, but the board flagged potential legal issues because Hayes currently serves on the Zoning Board of Adjustment and said that legal research would be required before proceeding. The minutes do not record further action on Hayes’ interest.
The appointment fills the vacancy through the next Town Meeting; the board did not record a vote count by name beyond noting unanimous approval.
