Town Government
Tyringham Select Board
About the Board
The Select Board is elected town-wide, so every Tyringham voter helps choose all three, and each serves a three-year term on a staggered schedule that puts one seat on the ballot most springs. The board sets town policy, signs the warrants that decide what Town Meeting gets to vote on, serves as the town’s Board of Health, appoints residents to many town boards, and hires and supervises the Town Administrator who runs the town day to day. 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 the Administrator accountable.
- Controls the warrant, deciding what business reaches Town Meeting for a vote.
Board Members
All three members are elected town-wide to staggered three-year terms, so one seat comes up at most annual town elections. James Consolati chairs the board, with Matthew Puntin and Michael Curtin as members; Michael Curtin won the board’s open seat at the May 18, 2026 town election.
