Stockbridge committee to invite former Holliston official to explain board-expansion study
Summary
The Stockbridge Select Board Expansion Committee agreed to invite a former Holliston governance committee member and town administrator (Paul LeBeau) to Zoom in and answer questions about his town's experience with changing board size, while members draft consistent interview questions for local use.
The Select Board Expansion Committee in Stockbridge voted to proceed with outreach to a former Holliston governance official to inform its study of whether to expand the town's select board. A committee member reported that Paul LeBeau, formerly on Holliston's governance committee and a town administrator, "would be happy to speak with us" and could join by Zoom or answer written questions.
Committee members said they want to use outside experience to shape their methodology. One member said bringing a guest who served on a governance committee "would give us an opportunity to ask him questions in real time," and members agreed to provide the guest with questions and a choice of dates. The committee asked the recorder to confirm the guest's exact name and availability before sending an invitation.
Members emphasized using the Holliston session as an advisory resource rather than a decision-making forum. They discussed timing and availability, noting summer scheduling constraints; the group agreed to reconvene after Labor Day to finalize questions and then schedule the guest Zoom. The committee will include any written questions it uses to interview former select board members as part of the public record.
