Select Board dedicates 2025 town report to longtime clerk; appoints Jennifer Comar as Town Clerk/Treasurer
Summary
The Select Board dedicated the 2025 Town Report to retiring Town Clerk Sandy Pinsonault and recorded a motion to appoint Jennifer Comar as Town Clerk/Treasurer beginning Jan. 1, 2026; the motion was moved and seconded in the minutes but no roll-call vote is recorded in the transcript.
The Select Board opened the Dec. 16 meeting by dedicating the 2025 Town Report to Sandy Pinsonault, who retires after more than 20 years serving as Dorset Town Clerk. "The Board was very happy to dedicate the 2025 Town Report to Sandy Pinsonault, who has been Town Clerk in Dorset for over 20 years," Select Board member Megan Thorn said, and meeting attendees applauded in recognition of her service.
Following the dedication, Henry Chandler moved and Frank Parent seconded a motion to appoint Jennifer Comar as Town Clerk/Treasurer, effective Jan. 1, 2026. The minutes record the motion being moved and seconded; the transcript does not include a roll-call vote or a recorded tally in the segment where the motion is logged. The board then presented Sandy with a copy of the report and the room applauded.
The appointment will take effect Jan. 1, 2026 per the motion recorded in the minutes; the minutes do not include a vote tally for that motion in the segment where it was made. Town staff will reflect the appointment and personnel change in the January meeting materials and implementation paperwork.
