Town Government
Littleton Select Board
About the Board
The Select Board is elected town-wide, so every Littleton voter helps choose all five, and each serves a three-year term on a staggered schedule that puts a couple of seats on the ballot each spring. The board is the chief executive body of the town government: it sets policy, signs the warrants that decide what Town Meeting gets to vote on, acts as the licensing authority for a long list of licenses, and appoints the Town Administrator, the Police Chief, the Fire Chief, Town Counsel, and the members of the town’s appointed boards. When the police chief’s job opened in 2026, this is the board that interviewed the finalist in open session and took the vote.
- Sets policy and direction for the whole town.
- Hires the Town Administrator and holds the Administrator accountable.
- Controls the warrant, deciding what business reaches Town Meeting for a vote.
Board Members
All five members are elected town-wide. After each annual town election the board reorganizes and chooses its own officers. At its May 11, 2026 reorganization, two days after the annual election, it elected Gary C. Wilson as Chair and appointed Charles DeCoste as Vice Chair and Mark Rambacher as Clerk, each on a unanimous vote.
