Sudbury Select Board - Meeting of June 30, 2026
Published: Jun 30, 2026
Hilda Ayonelli Appointed to Board of Registrars
The Sudbury Select Board appointed Hilda Ayonelli to the Board of Registrars with a term set to expire on May 31, 2029. The appointment was made following a previous interview with Ayonelli. The motion was made by Radha Gargi and seconded by Lisa Drettler, and passed with a unanimous roll-call vote from the board members present.
Allison Goldfarb Appointed to Agricultural Commission
The Sudbury Select Board appointed Allison Goldfarb to the Agricultural Commission. Goldfarb, a resident of Concord Road with a background in equine-facilitated therapy, fruit orchards, and forest management, expressed her interest in supporting agricultural pursuits in Sudbury. She has been a resident for two years and has already engaged with town departments such as the Conservation Commission, Town Clerk, and Tax Assessor. The board unanimously approved her appointment to a term ending May 31, 2027.
Select Board Approves Funding for Unbudgeted Operational Item Despite Budgetary Questions
The Sudbury Select Board approved consent calendar item number five, which involves a three-year agreement for an unbudgeted operational item, funded through Community Preservation Act (CPA) funds and potentially the Housing Trust. Dan Cardi questioned the three-year commitment for an unbudgeted item and the discrepancy between the requested amount ($73,987) and the previous town meeting allocation ($38,740). Charlie Rousseau noted that the current assessment is lower in both dollar amount and percentage of the overall budget compared to previous years. Victor Chen confirmed that the Housing Trust and potentially CPA funds cover the cost, with last year's payment being $78,400, suggesting the requested amount is reasonable.
Cynthia Howe Appointed to Sudbury Housing Authority Board
The Sudbury Select Board and Housing Authority held a joint meeting to appoint a new member to the Sudbury Housing Authority (SHA) board. Three candidates—Alicia Carrillo, Cynthia Howe, and Susan Chaffee—were interviewed. After deliberation, Cynthia Howe was appointed to serve through May 31, 2027. Howe, a long-term resident with extensive experience in public and private affordable housing management, was selected. The board also discussed the ongoing Pine Lakes development proposal, with candidates offering varied perspectives on its feasibility and impact on the neighborhood.
DEI Committee Proposes Membership Reduction, Plans Equity Audit and Joint Reading
The Sudbury Select Board received an update from Janine Taylor of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee regarding ongoing work and proposed changes. The committee proposed reducing its membership from seven to five members to ensure quorum with committed individuals, as several members are rolling off due to term limits or other commitments. The committee is also focusing on refining its mission, improving meeting minutes, and planning future initiatives such as an equity audit and a joint reading of Frederick Douglass's speech with the Lincoln DEI Commission. The Select Board acknowledged the DEI Committee's valuable work and agreed to attend a future DEI meeting for a more in-depth discussion.
