The Select Board voted to approve the March 3 regular meeting minutes and the executive session minutes from March 3. The executive session minutes were approved "without release," meaning they will remain sealed.

At the March 24 meeting a member made a motion to enter executive session under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 30A, Section 21(a) "to conduct strategy session of preparation and contract negotiations with non‑union personnel, the highway superintendent," and the motion passed on a voice vote. The board announced it would not return to open session after that executive session.

Board members also reviewed administrative items and personnel matters. The board confirmed an appointment offer had been made and accepted for a new Board of Health operations coordinator, with a planned start date of April 7 to allow overlap with the retiring coordinator. Members noted the town is down one water commissioner and that another commissioner's term expires in June.

Other administrative matters discussed included a report that a flagpole in the town center had been damaged and an offer from a local flagpole company to donate a replacement; the board said it will await the insurance company’s response. The board also heard that a prior document-digitization grant has closed out and that staff received a draft memorandum of agreement for invasive-vegetation removal at Rockham Brook to consider at a future meeting.

Ending: The board moved into executive session for negotiation strategy and personnel matters and did not return to open session; separate personnel and administrative follow-ups will be handled by staff and at future meetings.
