Board outlines process to solicit reappointments after March election
Summary
The Select Board agreed to send letters to appointed officers whose terms expire, asking them to confirm interest by March 6; members described prior practices for reappointment and how vacancies will be handled.
Chair (S2) recommended sending letters to appointed officers whose terms expire, asking them to state whether they wish to be reappointed by March 6 so the board can act at the first meeting after the election. S2 said prior practice varied — sometimes officers were reappointed automatically and other times the board required a response.
Members discussed options used in previous years and agreed to notify incumbents in advance of the March meeting. The board noted that if an appointee does not respond, the town may treat it as a resignation and leave the seat vacant until someone steps forward.
