Ludlow cemetery board discusses filling vacant commissioner seat
Summary
Commissioners discussed the vacancy created by Lou Gabranski not running and considered advertising the seat, accepting letters of interest, and whether a temporary appointment or special meeting is needed.
Board Chair Bob Brandt said the cemetery board needs another commissioner after Lou Gabranski’s term expired and he did not run again. Members discussed whether the vacancy must be advertised, whether to accept letters of interest on the town website, and whether an appointment or election process applies for the separate cemetery commission.
Shannon Stark recommended posting the vacancy on the town website and soliciting letters of interest; Bruce Schmidt noted the cemetery commission is a separate statutory entity and suggested caution about placing another Select Board member on the cemetery board. Scott Baitz asked if the position must be advertised; Penny Wu said the board can wait until May if desired, and members discussed possibly holding a special meeting to act more quickly.
The board directed Chair Brandt and staff to coordinate next steps and to notify members about a potential special meeting date; no appointment was made at the March 18 meeting.
