Lincoln zoning board postpones officer elections to October

The Town of Lincoln Zoning Board of Review voted to postpone its officer elections to the October meeting to allow full participation. The chair said recent turnover and several absences prompted the decision and moved to delay filling the three officer positions — chair, vice chair and secretary — until the board's next regular meeting.

A board member asked which positions would be filled; the chair confirmed the three officer roles and proposed Oct. 6 as the date for the vote. Another member seconded the motion and the board approved the postponement by voice vote, with the chair noting the board must have sufficient participants present to conduct the election.

Members discussed that two alternates had helped restore a full seven-member panel and that scheduling the election in October would allow longer-serving members who were absent to participate. No substantive changes to board operations were made at the meeting; the elections item was deferred for formal action at the October meeting.
