From the minutes
“Mr. Carreiro moved to nominate Judith Underwood to the Water Commissioners. Ms. Brown seconded the motion. Mr. Howell said he'd like to maintain at least one woman in the position because ideally the government should look like the people it represents and Ms. Brown agreed. Mr. Carreiro stated that he nominated Ms. Underwood because she was the only one who said they loved the Town and he ran for the position because he loved the Town and wanted to serve. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Thompson opposed the motion and the motion carried on a 5-2-0 vote.” (second: Brown)
