Summary
At its June 16 meeting the Bedford Planning Board elected Hal Newberry chair, Matt Sullivan vice chair and a secretary; appointment of liaisons to conservation and historic district commissions was deferred pending member availability.
The Bedford Planning Board on June 16 elected officers for the coming term. Hal Newberry was chosen to serve as chair, Matt Sullivan as vice chair and a board member accepted the secretary role.
Why it matters: Officer elections determine who runs meetings and serves as the board’s point of contact with staff and other town boards. The board deferred liaison appointments to other boards (conservation and historic district) until additional members are present.
Action taken - The board approved the slate of officers by voice vote. Members agreed to postpone appointments for outside‑board liaisons until the next meeting when more members can attend.
Next steps - Staff will notify board members of the July and August single‑meeting schedule and will circulate liaison opportunities once absent members are available to confirm.
