Board of Selectmen

The Board of Selectmen serves as the chief executive of the Town and has general supervision over all matters not assigned by statute or by-law to other Town officers.  In addition, the Board has the authority to appoint various officers and boards and to investigate the conduct and operation of Town departments.  The Board may hold hearings and summon witnesses, appoint town counsel, and institute, prosecute and/or defend any actions to which the Town is a party.  The Board of Selectmen exercises control over all real estate or property of the Town that is not under the care of any other particular board or department authority, acts as the "licensing authority" of the Town, and has various financial duties.  The Selectmen hold regular public meetings on the first and third Tuesday of each month.
