Wellfleet Selectboard
How the Wellfleet Selectboard voted, from the Selectboard’s official minutes. 5 Selectboard members elected townwide. Same five members: Ryan Curley was re-elected over Tim Sayre at the May 19, 2026 town election. On June 16, 2026 a motion to make Sheila Lyons Chair failed (roll call: John Wolf and Sheila Lyons yes; Barbara Carboni, Josh Yeston and Ryan Curley no); the board then chose Josh Yeston as Chair (roll call 4-1, Sheila Lyons voting no) and Barbara Carboni as Vice Chair. Covers 7 meetings so far, June 16 to August 18, 2026.
A monthly email on what it voted on, starting in November.
What does the Selectboard 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 Selectboard, 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 (+1): 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.
- Posted quickly (+1): Post minutes within 30 days. If approval takes longer, post a draft marked “Draft – not yet approved” and replace it later.
- 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 Wellfleet, Town Meeting — not the Selectboard — 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: Selectboard minutes (called the Board of Selectmen until mid-2018) from January 9, 2018 through August 18, 2026. Minutes from 2018 through 2024 come from the archive folders in the town’s online Document Center; minutes from 2025 on come from the town’s Agenda Center. Not here: executive-session minutes; two 2019 files that are empty (January 29 and February 12, 2019); two files that hold other minutes (January 6, 2020 holds the Shellfish Advisory Board’s minutes, and October 15, 2024 repeats the October 19, 2023 minutes); the regular meeting of October 7, 2025 and the July 14, 2026 joint meeting with the Sewer Commissioners, for which the town posted other minutes in their place; other meetings for which the town has not posted minutes; and every meeting after August 18, 2026. Most minutes are typed; 5 are scanned copies, which MassVoter read with text-recognition software and checked by hand. Wellfleet’s minutes name the mover and the seconder and give a count for each motion, such as “Motion: Houk Second: Reinhart 4-0-0” (early 2018), “Bacon seconded, and the motion carried 4-1” (2018 to 2020) or “Roll Call Vote: 4-0-1 (DeVasto abstained)” (2021 on). Even when the board voted by roll call, the minutes usually give only the count; since June 2026 they list each member’s vote by name, as in “Roll Call Vote: Yeston (yes), Carboni (recused), Lyons (yes) …”. When the count matches the members present, we show every member present as voting yes, and when the minutes name the members who voted no, abstained or recused, everyone else present as voting yes. Where the minutes give only a split count without names, or the count does not match the members present, we show the count only and add a note. Some motions say only “it was voted”, with no count; we show those with no count, and never assume they were unanimous. Members who stepped aside (recused), had not yet arrived or had left are left out of that vote. Votes taken by other boards at joint meetings (such as the Finance Committee) 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.

The minutes give the count as "4-1", counting the recusal as the second number; the roll call names each member's vote. Barbara Carboni stepped aside (recused) and did not take part in this vote.
