Select Board approves events, appointments, C‑PACE adoption and minutes; several motions pass by voice vote
Summary
The Select Board approved event road requests (Tour to Cure, Bikes Not Bombs), confirmed appointments to the Agricultural and Clean Lakes committees, adopted the state C‑PACE commercial clean energy program, and approved meeting minutes; most votes were by voice and recorded as unanimous.
At its July 27 meeting the Select Board handled several routine but consequential votes.
Appointments: The board reappointed Will Pickard to the Agricultural Commission (term to 06/30/2029) and appointed Stephen Hadden as the Lake Manawonkie alternate on the Clean Lakes Committee (term to 06/30/2029). Events and roads: The board approved use of town roads for the Tour to Cure bicycle event on 08/16/2026 and for the Bikes Not Bombs Century Bike Challenge on 10/04/2026. Clean‑energy program: The board voted to adopt the Massachusetts Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C‑PACE) program, enabling eligible commercial and multifamily owners to use private long‑term financing for efficiency and clean energy upgrades. Minutes: The board approved minutes of the July 13, 2026 meeting.
All listed motions were moved and seconded on the record and carried by voice vote during the meeting.
Why it matters: The C‑PACE adoption provides a financing tool for private owners to invest in energy upgrades, while the appointments and event approvals affect near‑term town operations and volunteer boards.
