Sudbury Council on Aging unanimously sends alternate-member bylaw to spring Town Meeting.
Council on Aging · Meeting of January 12, 2026
Sudbury Council on Aging unanimously sends alternate-member bylaw to spring Town Meeting. The six members present approved a redlined amendment, presented by Carmine Gentile, that would expand the nine-member council with two alternates, one seated in 2026, one in 2027, and strike a two-consecutive-term limit Chair Paul Marotta said is not imposed on any other town board. Vice-Chair Patricia Tabloski will lead a small group with Gentile and Mary Brauer to draft a community survey to update a 2022 strategic-plan focus group Marotta called "more tactical than strategic." Brauer reported Catch Connect logged 3,000 trips in 2025 and the Select Board is preparing a $100,000 Town Meeting article to continue the service; the Community Preservation Committee separately recommended $600,000 for the Sudbury Housing Trust.
Member Mary McLaughlin was absent; the board has two vacancies and interviews two applicants Thursday.
