Michelle Geddes (presiding commissioner) opened the meeting and read a statement disclosing the arrest of Chris Verstol on charges brought by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Boston. Geddes said the allegations are unrelated to commission business, that town funds are not involved (the funds in question are held by a private nonprofit), and that Verstol has conveyed an intention to resign; the town clerk will notify when paperwork is complete. She said the commission will not comment further and directed questions about the case to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and town questions to the town manager
