Town Charter Review Committee approves Article 3 and Article 4 revisions.
Board of Selectmen · Meeting of February 17, 2026
DRACUT — Town Charter Review Committee approves two article revisions but warns of schedule slip. The committee unanimously approved changes to Article 3 (Elected and Appointed Officers) and Article 4 (Town Manager) on February 17, with sections consolidated, removed, and renumbered across both articles. Committee member Karen Merrill recommended asking the Select Board to defer any charter vote to the fall town meeting, citing staffing losses, late start, and scheduling conflicts that have prevented completion of all four scheduled articles in time for spring consideration.
