Select Board Signs Dec. 3 Town Meeting Warrant

Select Board · Meeting of October 22, 2026

Sherborn Select Board signed the warrant for a Dec. 3 Special Town Meeting at Pine Hill centered on a housing project. The board voted unanimously to approve the warrant, thanking residents for keeping it free of citizen petitions: "This was needed because of the housing project." Separately, actuary Parker Elmore reported the town's unfunded retiree health care liability grew to $8.6 million from $6.1 million, with the funded ratio slipping to 33 percent amid Medicare supplement plan costs that rose 45 percent over two years. Member Paul DeRensis recused himself from an executive session vote on police chief contract talks, citing outside work for Holbrook.

The board also backed a letter supporting U.S. Bike Route 1 through Sherborn and agreed to have town counsel investigate a proposed land swap offered by resident George Fisk near Leland Farms and Woodhaven.
