LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — Voters will choose a new Select Board member through a contested race in Tuesday's town election.
Polls open at noon in the Town Hall community room and will close at 8 p.m.
Longtime Planning Board member Joseph Trybus and Deborah Maynard, also on the board, are running for the three-year term.
John Goerlach declined to run again after serving Lanesborough for 18 years, being first elected in 2006.
When prompted for closing words at the last meeting, Goerlach thanked the townspeople for their support and said it has been a pleasure to serve them.
Timothy Sorrell has another year on his term and Michael Murphy was re-elected last year for a three-year term.
At last week's annual town meeting, voters approved an article that expands the number of Select Board members from three to five. The home-rule petition has to be approved by the Legislature and will not affect this election.
There is also a contested race for the Planning Board, with Courtney Dondi and Mark Siegars vying for a five-year term. Both have served on town boards and commissions.
Renee Degragon is running for a one-year term on the Planning Board. Kristen Tool and David Parks are running uncontested for two three-year terms on the Finance Committee and Lydon Moors is running uncontested for a two-year term on the committee.
Elizabeth Drury is running for re-election on a three-year library trustee term and David Rolle is running uncontested for a three-year term as town moderator.
