Sudbury Council on Aging advances three new member appointments to Select Board

SUDBURY -- February 9, 2026, Sudbury Council on Aging unanimously recommends three new members and confirms its warrant article is now Article 21. The board voted Feb. 9 to forward Louis Petrovic and Dr. Jonathan Harding to the Select Board for the Feb. 24 meeting and to hold Patricia "Patsy" Maxim's alternate appointment until May Town Meeting acts on Article 21, which would eliminate term limits and add two alternate seats. Chair Paul Marotta called Petrovic, a 55-year resident and current Thursday greeter, "a gentleman and a scholar." Select Board Chair Lisa Kouchadkdjian, joining by Zoom, confirmed the article moved from 19 to 21 in the latest warrant draft. Director Nickole Boardman announced the renovated Senior Center kitchen received its final permit Feb. 5 and that the former FISH volunteer-driver program will relaunch in March as "Community Rides." The board also debated FlashVote's five-question cap against SurveyMonkey for its strategic-plan needs assessment, with member Joel Bauman citing fire department data of roughly two senior falls per day in Sudbury.
