The Town of Northborough Select Board approved subcommittee recommendations and several routine votes at its Feb. 10, 2025 meeting, appointing Amanda Derosier Millet to the Library Board of Trustees and Judy Boyle to both the Master Plan Implementation Committee and the Youth Commission.

The board's interview subcommittee conducted interviews and recommended the two candidates. For Amanda Derosier Millet, members noted a scheduling/term-clarification point: the motion initially named a three-year term with a stated expiration date that technically creates a partial overlap, so members directed staff to finalize the appointment letter to match the intended vacancy. The board proceeded with the appointment vote and recorded it as unanimous.

Judy Boyle was appointed to the Master Plan Implementation Committee and the Youth Commission; both motions passed unanimously. The Select Board thanked interviewers and committee chairs who participated in the interviews and noted the benefits of bringing new volunteers onto boards.

Procedural votes earlier in the meeting approved minutes from a December economic forum and the Jan. 27, 2025 Select Board meeting; those motions were made, seconded and recorded as unanimous. The board also recorded its earlier unanimous approval of the legislative-priorities letter.
