The most significant omission involved climate action. The Board discussed environmental response strategies and using science for data capture—high-impact policy areas that should have been clearly noted on the agenda for public review. 1/3

Longer-form draft.

Transparency check: At the June 22 Select Board meeting, several significant topics were discussed that were not included on the official public agenda. This meant residents who wanted to weigh in on these specific issues were not given the opportunity to prepare or attend specifically for them.

Of particular note was a discussion regarding climate action and environmental response strategies. Because climate action involves long-term community planning and resource allocation, these discussions carry high significance for all residents. The Board also discussed the progress of the Black History Project and the involvement of its advisory task force, which also lacked agenda notice.

While administrative updates are routine, substantive policy discussions—like those regarding environmental response and community projects—should be clearly posted in advance. This allows for informed public participation rather than residents discovering decisions after they have been made.

We will continue to track how the Select Board handles agenda transparency and keep you updated on upcoming fiscal 2027 budget developments. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/concord/select-board/2026-06-22/ #MeetingWatch #ConcordMA
