Chairperson Peggy Roell (R) and board members Katharine Zirolli (R) and Jay Spivak (D) were re-elected to another term in the fall municipal election.

Roell was chosen by her peers to serve again as chair, Zirolli was voted to be the vice chair and sitting board member Wendy Howard (D) will serve as the secretary.
