Williamstown Select Board Seeks Applicants to Fill Vacancy

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Select Board on Monday issued a call for volunteers to occupy an upcoming vacancy on the five-person panel.
 
By a unanimous vote, the board set a Sept. 9 deadline for residents to submit a "government engagement" form and any accompanying materials for consideration. The board then plans to hear from applicants in open session and potentially vote on a replacement at a special meeting on Sept. 16.
 
The successful applicant will serve in the seat being vacated by Andrew Hogeland until the May annual town election, when the appointee will be able to run to serve the remaining year left on Hogeland's term, which expires in spring 2026.
 
At Monday's meeting, the board members weighed the pros and cons of appointing an interim member versus holding a special election, as allowed under Massachusetts General Law.
 
The appointment mechanism is enshrined in the town charter and is a legal alternative to the MGL Chapter 41, which reads, in part, that in event of a vacancy, Select Boards "may call a special election to fill the vacancy and shall call such election upon the request in writing of two hundred registered voters of the town."
 
Town counsel advised the board that the town charter, which is approved by the state Legislature, provides Williamstown with an exception to the special election rule.
 
Select Board members Randal Fippinger and Stephanie Boyd each made arguments for holding a special election. Fippinger began the conversation by suggesting a town ballot could be added when the town goes to the polls for the November general election.
