Town Government
The Chesterfield Select Board
About the Board
The Select Board is elected town-wide, so every Chesterfield voter helps choose all three, and the seats are staggered so one comes up on the ballot most springs. The board is the town’s elected chief executive: it sets town policy, signs the warrants that decide what Town Meeting gets to vote on, appoints residents to town offices, and hires and supervises the Town Administrator who carries out the daily work. When a daily problem becomes town policy, this is the room where it happens.
- Sets policy and direction for the whole town.
- Hires the Town Administrator and holds that office accountable.
- Controls the warrant, deciding what business reaches Town Meeting for a vote.
Board Members
All three members are elected town-wide. After each annual town election the board reorganizes and chooses its own officers. Roger Fuller chairs the board and calls its meetings to order.
