The Select Board consists of three elected members. Select Board members are the Chief administrative officers of the Town, and have general supervision over all matters that are not specifically delegated by law, or by Town Meeting, to another officer or board. Generally, Select Boards, under State law, have the power to prepare Town Meeting warrants; the power to make appointments to Town boards, committees, and offices; the power to employ administrative staff and Town Counsel; the power to sign warrants for the payment of Town bills; and the authority to grant licenses and permits. Select Boards also have charge of the Town Police Dept., Fire Dept., and the Public Works Dept.

The Board generally meets every Monday, alternating between 5:30pm evening meetings with public comments and 9:00am morning working sessions. The public is invited to all sessions. Meeting dates may change due to holidays and vacations. Any changes will be reflected on the "CALENDAR".
