Wayland Select Board
How the Wayland Select Board voted, from the Select Board’s official minutes. 5 Select Board members elected townwide for three-year terms. On April 23, 2018 the board chose Lea Anderson as Chair and Cherry Karlson as Vice Chair (5-0). The same five members served all year. Covers 41 meetings, April 23 to April 30, 2019.
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.

About missing minutes
Loaded: Wayland Select Board minutes (the board was called the Board of Selectmen until March 2022) from January 8, 2018 through September 8, 2026: 376 meetings and 2,527 votes. Minutes from 2018 through 2024 come from the town’s Document Center (Agendas & Minutes prior to 2025, Select Board), which holds the board’s open-session minutes back to July 2009 (MassVoter has loaded 2018 on); minutes from January 2025 on come from the town’s Agenda Center. All the minutes are typed documents with searchable text. Not here: executive-session minutes; two dates with no meeting (October 8, 2019, when there was no quorum, and September 30, 2021, when no meeting was called to order); March 25, 2025, when the board attended a Board of Public Works forum (agenda only, no minutes posted); and meetings after September 8, 2026 (the September 22 and October 5, 2026 minutes are not posted yet). On three days in early 2021 the board met twice; the morning meetings are listed as Special so the two stay separate. Wayland’s minutes record nearly every vote as a roll call by name (“YEA: T. Fay, D. Levine, C. Martin, C. Reynolds and W. Whitney. NAY: None. ABSENT: None. ABSTAIN: None. Adopted. 5-0-0.”), and we show each member’s vote as recorded; members listed as absent for a vote or not listed are not shown as voting, with a note. Where a roll call lists a member twice, names someone the minutes do not show as present or no longer on the board, or does not match its stated count, we show the count only, with a note (16 votes). Where the minutes write “Adopted” but the roll call shows more no votes than yes votes, the motion is shown as failed, with a note. At joint meetings (with the Board of Health, School Committee, Board of Public Works, Board of Assessors, Planning Board, Housing Authority, Recreation Commission, Trust Fund Commission and others), only the Select Board members’ votes are shown, and votes taken by the other boards alone are left out. We will ask the town to confirm any noted vote.
