The Westford Board of Selectmen usually meet the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month, 7:30PM in the J.V. Fletcher Library Meeting Room. The meeting is telecast live on cable TV Channel 8.
The Board of Selectmen and town of Westford staff compiled a list of State Mandates that cost towns valuable funds to comply with. We are requesting that our state officials review this list and bring forth those mandates they feel may be changed to alleviate some of this financial obligation on the part of towns.
The Selectmen are the chief policy making officials of the Town and are responsible for the enforcement of all town bylaws and regulations. The Board of Selectmen appoint the following people and committees according to the Charter explicit language:
- Town Manager
- Town Counsel
- Conservation Commission
- Board of Appeals
Additionally, in accordance with general language in the Charter, the Board of Selectmen appoint the following:
- Cable TV Advisory Committee
- Community Teamwork, Inc. Representative
- Council On Aging
- Building Committees (currently there are four: Permanent Town Building Committee, Permanent School Building Committee, Fire Sub-Station Committee, and Police Station Committee)
- Historical Commission
- Lowell Regional Transportation Authority Representative
- Northern Middlesex Council of Government (Selectman Representative)
- Any ad hoc committees required to carry out the responsibilities of the Selectmen which are not delegated to the Town Manager for appointment (for example, the Highway Garage Siting Committee)
