The same meeting produced a 4-1 vote on Article 30, shifting a citizen petition from a binding solar rooftop bylaw to a non-restrictive policy the board would adopt. Dissent centered on adding rules when climate goals already exist.

Longer-form draft.
On March 23 the Select Board heard a public comment from Tanya Gayas raising Open Meeting Law complaints about pre-meeting document circulation and changes to February 25 minutes that lacked full public discussion. The board acknowledged the comment was on the agenda but did not engage substantively or review documents before proceeding. The same meeting produced the only split vote of the night: 4-1 on Article 30. The board recommended Town Meeting urge the Select Board to adopt a solar rooftop policy rather than the citizen-proposed bylaw, with one member opposing on grounds it created unnecessary bureaucracy atop existing climate targets. Stormwater enterprise fund discussion was pulled from the consent calendar explicitly because of the need for wider resident understanding of the fee impacts. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/concord/select-board/2026-03-23/ #MeetingWatch #ConcordMA
