Wellesley Select Board approved $8 million in capital project proposals and gave Executive Director Meghan Jop a 3 percent merit raise. The Board unanimously backed infrastructure projects for Wellesley Square ($6 million) and the Weston Road-Linden Street intersection ($2 million), advancing both to capital planning review with construction funding sought at future Town Meetings. Chair Marjorie Freiman praised Jop as a "consummate professional" who demonstrated exceptional leadership during a complex fiscal year involving affordable housing coordination, capital planning, and union negotiations; Vice Chair Tom Ulfelder highlighted the Select Board office's professionalism under her direction.
The Board also approved bylaw amendments for the Advisory Committee and School Committee for November Special Town Meeting.
