GRAFTON — The Grafton Charter Review Committee appointed Syama Adhibhatta to fill a vacancy created by a member's resignation and reported progress on charter revisions across seven articles. One member resigned due to conflicts with positions as Town Moderator and Grafton High School paraprofessional. Subcommittees are pursuing changes including renaming the Town Administrator to Town Manager, shifting fire chief appointment authority, revising budget calendar and processes, and reconsidering Planning Board appointment methods.
Potential changes under consideration include replacing "published in a local newspaper" with "published on the main page of the Town of Grafton Website." The committee plans outreach at the October Town Meeting.
