Hingham Select Board
How the Hingham Select Board voted, from the Select Board’s official minutes. 3 Select Board members elected townwide. Joseph Fisher joined the board after the 2019 town election; Paul Healey left. On April 30, 2019 the board chose Karen Johnson as Chair. Because of COVID-19 the 2020 town election was held late, so this board served until June 2020. Covers 53 meetings, April 30 to June 25, 2020.
A monthly email on what it voted on, starting in November.
What does the Select Board do? It is the town’s executive board. It prepares the Town Meeting warrant (the list of articles voters decide), appoints members of many town boards, hires the town’s top staff, signs warrants to pay town bills, and grants licenses and permits.
Town Meeting, not the Select Board, votes the town budget and town bylaws.

What Town Meeting decided
In Hingham, Town Meeting — not the Select Board — votes the town budget, bylaws and zoning. Here is what it did with each article, in the Town Clerk’s own words. Any registered voter can take part, and most votes are by voice or show of hands, so there is no list of who voted which way.

Titles are short descriptions of each article from the official record; the quoted words are the Town Clerk’s. A vote at Town Meeting is not the final word on everything: some articles also need a ballot vote (such as a tax override) or the Attorney General’s approval (bylaws).

Meetings
About missing minutes
Loaded: Select Board minutes from January 2, 2018 through September 8, 2026, as posted in the town’s Agenda Center (the board was called the Board of Selectmen until 2021). Not here yet: minutes before 2018 (the town posts minutes back to 2012, and older ones in its document center), minutes after September 8, 2026, and meetings the town lists with an agenda but no minutes (mostly workshops, interviews and sessions where the board attended another group’s event). Hingham’s minutes are typed. Most votes say “All were in favor” or list a roll call by name; for those we show every member present as voting yes, or each member’s vote as recorded. Where a count or roll call does not match the members the minutes list as present (for example “All were in favor, 3-0” when only two members are listed, or a roll call naming a member the attendance line leaves out), we show the count only and add a note. A few motions are recorded with a second but no vote; those show the result only. Members who stepped aside (recused) are left out of that vote. Votes by other boards at joint meetings (School Committee, Advisory Committee, Recreation Commission, Board of Assessors and others) are not included. We will ask the town to confirm any noted vote.
Votes where members disagreed
Most board votes are unanimous. These are the ones where at least one member voted no or abstained, newest first.
