At its March 11 meeting the Andover Select Board elected officers and filled liaison roles. Swenson was chosen Chair by unanimous vote. For Vice-Chair, Fenton nominated himself and won 3-2 against Stewart. The board then approved three ex-officio appointments unanimously and named Jessica Rand to the Lakes Region Planning Commission. Committee vacancies were tabled until the Town Administrator compiles a public list and accepts applications for the first April meeting. The board also set an April 11 all-boards session and required multiple quotes before purchasing a road patching machine. The only recorded division was the Vice-Chair vote.
