5-19-2026 The ICE Meeting

A full recap of the May 19th Brentwood Select Board meeting — a packed evening that covered routine financial business, the formal welcome of new Town Treasurer Linda Lambert, and a major conservation win as the board approved using the open space bond to fund a 55-acre conservation easement on the Sly property on Middle Road. The board also received updates on the ongoing town administrator and recreation director searches, and heard from auditors on four open items still requiring resolution. But the evening's most talked-about moment came when Police Chief Murch informed the board that he had signed a 287G task force agreement with ICE — a decision rooted in officer safety and twenty years of law enforcement experience that sparked a substantive public discussion about process, transparency, and what it means to keep Brentwood safe. Send us Fan Mail
