   Hi Pete,Unfortunately, what you posted here “If I am interpreting Carol’s red check marks correctly, it looks like the whole School Committee, the whole Medfield Park & Recreation Commission, and all the Library Trustees are up for election.” (regarding Carol’s red check marks) is not correct…. I called Carol and I will be posting the brief descriptions of the following positions (which are the only ones up for election on March 25th. – Town Moderator (1 seat) – Board of Selectmen (1 seat) – Assessors (1 seat) – School Committee (2 seats) – Library Trustee (2 seats) – Planning Board (1 seat) – Park Commissioner (2 seats) – Trust Fund Commissioner (1 seat) Sending this along in case you want to modify what you posted so there is no confusion….. Best,Colleen

Town Clerk, Carol Mayer, published the material below today.

If I am interpreting Carol’s red check marks correctly, it looks like the whole School Committee, the whole Medfield Park & Recreation Commission, and all the Library Trustees are up for election.

Given that we try to have staggered terms, I am not sure how that happened, except that when people resign and a seat is filled by an interim election, I know that interim individual has to run in the next election.

The first step in seeking an elected municipal position is gathering the signatures of fifty registered voters on nomination papers that one gets from the Town Clerk.  Those nomination papers then need to be returned to the Town Clerk in a couple of months, so the signatures can be certified.

This notice today from the Town Clerk –

Nomination Papers – Town Election 3/25/2019
