Select Board approves long list of committee appointments and reappointments
Summary
The board reviewed vacancies and appointments across dozens of town committees, accepted edits to the appointment list and voted to approve the slate as amended; John Sutherland was recommended for road commissioner and several reappointments were confirmed.
The select board reviewed a multi-page list of town committee appointments and vacancies, clarifying which positions are elected and which the board appoints. Speaker 4 recommended John Sutherland for road commissioner and explained statutory limits for appointments such as the assistant clerk-treasurer, noting "the assistant...is appointed by the clerk treasurer," a point raised after consulting the town attorney.
After discussion of expirations and vacancies on the planning commission, historical society and library trustees, the board moved to accept the appointments as amended and approved the list. The board also reappointed several incumbents where terms had expired and recorded follow-up to verify certain members' willingness to continue.
