Hull Select Board
How the Hull Select Board voted, from the Select Board’s official minutes. 5 Select Board members elected townwide. Susan Short Green joined the board after the May 18, 2026 election; Jason McCann left. On May 27, 2026 the board made Brian McCarthy Chair, chose Jerry Taverna as Vice Chair 3-2 (after a 2-3 vote on Greg Grey) and Susan Short Green as Clerk. Minutes are loaded through the September 22, 2026 meeting. Covers 12 meetings so far, May 26 to September 22, 2026.
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.

How the town can raise its score
- Minutes posted (+1): Post approved minutes for every meeting on the town website. Don’t require a sign-in to view them.
- Each vote named (+2): On any vote that isn’t unanimous, write how each member voted. For example: “Motion passed 3–2. Yes: Smith, Jones, Lee. No: Brown, Silva.” A roll call on split votes is the simplest way to do this.
- Member photos (+1): Show a photo of each member on the board’s web page, with their name, the date their term ends and how to contact them. A group photo of the members, with everyone named in the caption or on the same page, earns half a point.

What Town Meeting decided
In Hull, 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.

Meetings
About missing minutes
Loaded: Select Board minutes from January 2018 through September 22, 2026, as posted on the town’s Agenda Center (the board was called the Board of Selectmen until 2021). Not here yet: years before 2018; meetings the town lists without posted minutes (several each year, including October 2025 to early January 2026); and the April 21, 2021 minutes, which could not be loaded. One set of minutes (January 8, 2025) is a scanned document, which we read with text recognition. Most votes are recorded in a table with the mover, the seconder and the result. When the minutes say “Unanimous” we show every member present as voting yes. Many votes also list each member’s vote by name. Some votes, mostly from 2025 and 2026, give only a count such as “3-2-0” without names; those show the count only. Where the names in the minutes do not match the count, or a roll call leaves out a member who was present, we show the count only and add a note. Members who stepped aside (recused) or were out of the room for a vote are left out of that vote, as the minutes record. Votes by other boards at joint meetings (School Committee, Planning Board, Hull Redevelopment Authority, Library Trustees, Board of Assessors) and votes taken in executive session 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.
