Town Government
West Boylston Select Board
About the Board
The Select Board is elected town-wide, so every West Boylston 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 sets town policy, signs the warrants that decide what Town Meeting gets to vote on, 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 five members are elected town-wide to three-year terms, staggered so that a seat or two is on the ballot each spring. After each annual town election the board reorganizes and chooses its own officers. As currently seated, Vanessa Kuzmanovski chairs the board, David Ashwell is Vice Chair, and Michael T. Connors is Clerk.
