Longer-form draft.
At the February 25 Select Board meeting, five residents used the public comment period to raise detailed concerns about two matters that had not been listed on the public agenda. The first involved the board's reference to the IHRA working definition of antisemitism in a proclamation, with speakers questioning the process, lack of input from groups such as the ACLU, and possible effects on speech. The second concerned a proposed cell tower at Rideout Field, citing insufficient health and park-impact review and asking for a delay in the RFP. The board responded only by noting both topics would appear on upcoming agendas and that open-meeting-law complaints would be addressed March 10 or 12. No direct engagement, data review, or commitment to additional outreach took place during the meeting. Minutes have not yet been posted. Residents seeking to track next steps can check the town website for the March 2 or March 10 agendas. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/concord/select-board/2026-02-25/ #MeetingWatch #ConcordMA
