Before turning to a lengthy agenda, the Essex Selectboard went through its annual reorganization process Monday night by electing within itself a chair, vice chair, and clerk.
Selectman Patrick Murray made the lone motion heard for the chair position â that being for Andy Watts.
âYikes,â Watts said with a chuckle after Murrayâs motion was unanimously approved and Unified Manager Evan Teich passed off direction of the meeting. But Watts then went immediately into action and heard a motion, second, and unanimous approval of Murray being vice chair for the second-straight year.
In her first meeting on the selectboard, Tracey Delphia was elected as the boardâs clerk through another unanimous vote after Watts explained that the role has historically gone to the newest member.
