Summary

The board approved Microsoft Forms as the town’s committee-application system and approved a slate of committee appointments across planning, communications, ordinance review and comprehensive planning committees, with some abstentions noted.

The operations coordinator presented a new forms-based approach (Microsoft Forms) for committee applications to standardize submissions and route them automatically to the select board and operations staff. The board moved to adopt Microsoft Forms for committee applications; the motion passed unanimously (5–0).

The board then processed multiple committee appointments, moving and seconding nominees to planning, communications, ordinance review and comprehensive planning committees. Several appointments passed unanimously while a small number of votes recorded abstentions; the board used the new form system to accept future applications and noted the form will be live on the town website.
