Select Board

The Select Board is composed of five members who are elected for three-year terms. As the Chief Elected and Executive Officers of the Town, the board is vested with all the municipal authority not specifically retained by the Town's legislative body, Town Meeting, or other elected boards. The Select Board appoints a Town Administrator who is responsible for the daily management of the Town.

The Select Board issues the Warrants for Town Meetings, initiates legislative policy by creating Articles for Town Meeting Warrants and then implements the votes on Articles adopted for administrative policies. The Select Board appoints members of various official boards and commissions, holds public hearings on important Town issues, represents the Town before the General Court and enforces Town by-laws and regulations.

The board also serves as the licensing authority responsible for issuing over 70 licenses in more than 20 categories, including Common Victualler, Livery/Hackney, Amusement/Entertainment, Class I, Class II & Class III Motor Vehicle, Lodging House, and One-Day Alcohol. The Select Board conducts show-cause hearings on license violations.

The Select Board meets every other Wednesday, unless otherwise posted, at 7:00 P.M. in the Osborn Room at Town Hall. The meetings are broadcast live on Comcast Channel 1072 and Verizon Channel 39.  Instructions to join the meeting via Zoom are printed at the top of each meeting agenda and residents may attend Open Sessions in person.
