Whitman Select Board

How the Whitman Select Board voted, from the Select Board’s official minutes. 5 Select Board members elected townwide. Laura L. Howe joined the board in May 2023; Randolph G. LaMattina left. On May 23, 2023, the board chose Carl F. Kowalski over Justin R. Evans for Chairman, 3-2. Covers 28 meetings, May 23 to May 21, 2024.

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 Whitman, 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.

  • Art. 2 Revised FY2026 town operating budget (Article 2), total $53,332,128 Passed “IN THE MAJORITY”

Meetings

About missing minutes

Not here yet: we have loaded the Select Board’s minutes from January 2018 through September 8, 2026. The town has posted an agenda but no minutes for ten meetings in that time (for example February 5, 2020, February 7, 2024, and August 4, 2026), and minutes after September 8, 2026, are not posted yet. All minutes are typed; one file was a scan that we read with text recognition. Most votes are recorded as a count, such as 5-0 or 3-2 with the members who voted no named, or as a roll call. From May 2024 to May 2025 the minutes usually say only that a motion “carried,” without a count or names; for those 211 votes we show the result but not how each member voted. A few votes where the count does not match the members present, or where members chose between candidates instead of voting yes or no, are shown with a note and without individual votes. Votes by other boards at joint meetings (such as the School Committee, Finance Committee or Hanson Select Board) are not included. We will ask the town to confirm any noted vote.
