Board discusses long‑running lister vacancy and potential elimination of the position
Summary
Board members reported a longstanding vacancy for listers and discussed that current listers may not seek reappointment; eliminating the lister position would require voter approval in March and could necessitate hiring an outside firm for future work.
The minutes record that listers reached out to the chair with concerns about a lack of candidates for the lister position, which has been vacant for several years. Listers indicated they may not run again when their term ends. Board members discussed steps to eliminate the lister position, noting that such a change would need voter approval in March and that the town would likely need to hire an outside firm for property‑assessment work in the future.
No formal motion to eliminate the position was recorded; the discussion was entered into the minutes for future consideration and potential action at Town Meeting or subsequent sessions.
