Select Board

Plainfield town operations follow a chain of command that begins with the registered voters of the town who elect selectmen and town officials. The Select Board acts as the governing body and appoints a Town Administrator to be in charge of day-to-day operations of the town and to implement their policies.

The three-member Select Board is elected to staggered three-year terms. They set policy, prepare an annual budget for presentation to the Town Meeting, and follow through on votes that take place at the annual town meeting. The Selectmen meet the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:00PM. 1st meeting is typically at the town offices complex, 110 Main Street, 2nd meeting of the month is typically at the Plainfield Library 1088 Route 12A. Public participation in these meetings is encouraged -- we welcome your input.
