Nantucket Select Board

How the Nantucket Select Board voted, from the Select Board’s official minutes. 5 Select Board members elected townwide. Brooke Mohr joined the board after the May 2022 town election; Kristie Ferrantella left. On May 11, 2022 the board chose Jason Bridges as Chair and Dawn Holdgate as Vice Chair. Dr. Malcolm MacNab joined in November 2022, replacing Melissa Murphy. Covers 65 meetings, May 11 to May 23, 2023.

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 Nantucket, 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 6, 2021 through September 23, 2026, as posted on the town’s CivicClerk portal (the board also meets as the County Commissioners; those minutes are included). Older minutes back to 2012 are online but not loaded yet. Sub-committee meetings are not included. Most votes give the mover, the seconder and either “all in favor, so voted”, a count such as “so voted 4-1” with the members opposed named, or a roll call by name. “All in favor” votes show every member present as voting yes. Members who recused or had left the room are left out of that vote. Votes recorded only as “so voted” with no count show the result only; counts that do not match the members present show the count only. Votes taken by paper ballot for committee appointments are not listed. We will ask the town to confirm any noted vote.

Yes: Bridges, Mohr, MurphyNo: Fee

From the minutes

“Ms. Mohr moved to amend the sewer fee waiver policy as presented in the Board’s agenda materials, subject to final approval by Town Counsel; seconded by Ms. Murphy. Mr. Fee expressed concern about amending the policy, in such a specific manner, written for a particular situation. Mr. Gray said that Mr. Fee recently asked about costs to upgrade the Naushop pump station, necessary in order to serve the Richmond development and noted the project went out to bid and the low bid is approximately $2,000,000 which is significantly higher than earlier estimates. Ms. Mohr said that the project requires certain contributions in order to be built. So voted Chair Bridges – Yes; Mr. Fee – No; Ms. Mohr – Yes; Ms. Murphy – Yes. 3.” (Motion: Mohr, second: Murphy)

Approve the full request

Yes: Bridges, Mohr, MurphyNo: Fee

From the minutes

“Ms. Mohr moved approval of the full request; seconded by Ms. Murphy. Ms. Murphy commented that she understands what Mr. Turbitt was saying and would be perhaps more comfortable with a waiver of more than 50% but less than a full waiver. Ms. Mohr suggested a percentage, and that there be a 75% reduction in the fees that led to the $474,925 number which covers Phases II, III, IV, V, VI for Meadows II Apartments; so moved by Ms. Mohr; seconded by Ms. Murphy. Some discussion followed. Mr. Fee expressed discomfort at how the waiver is being handled. Ms. Murphy said that going forward more financial analysis would be helpful. Mr. Fee spoke further on his concern. So voted Chair Bridges – Yes; Mr. Fee – No; Ms. Mohr – Yes; Ms. Murphy – Yes. 4.” (Motion: Mohr, second: Murphy)
