Mansfield Select Board

How the Mansfield Select Board voted, from the Select Board’s official minutes. 5 members elected townwide. Michael Feck and Kostas Loukas joined the board in spring 2025. Covers 32 meetings, May 21 to May 6, 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.

What Town Meeting decided

In Mansfield, 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.

Not here yet: the May 5, 2026 Annual Town Meeting (Mansfield prints Town Meeting results in its Annual Town Report, and the 2026 report is not out yet). The Town Clerk's record of the January 9, 2025 Special Town Meeting has no result for Article 18.

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).

About missing minutes

Not here yet: we have loaded the Select Board’s minutes from January 2023 on; earlier years are in the town’s archive. The minutes are scanned documents; we read them with text recognition. The minutes give each vote as a count with the mover and seconder (for example “Passes 4:1”) and usually name members who abstain, but not who voted no; split votes without names show only the count. Where a count does not match the members listed as present, the vote is noted. We will ask the town to confirm any noted vote.
