	Board of selectmen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Board of Selectmen is commonly the executive arm of town governments in New England.
		These men had charge of the day-to-day operations; selectmen were important in legislating policies central to a community's police force, highway supervisors, poundkeepers, field drivers, and other officials.
		In larger towns, most of the selectmen's traditional powers are entrusted to a full-time town administrator or town manager.

	Summary 1 - Selectmen
		If a matter affecting one of these interests comes up for consideration at a Selectmen’s meeting, the wisest course of action is to leave the room during discussion, deliberation and the vote on the matter, and make sure that the minutes of the meeting reflect your recusal.
		Selectmen who are “special municipal employees” may represent others only in the following circumstances: they have never acted on the matter as a municipal official; the matter is not and has not been the subject of their official responsibility; and the matter is not currently pending before the Board of Selectmen.
		For example, if you participate in the Selectmen’s decision to award a town building contract, you may not then be paid by a private company to help it get the contract or, generally, to assist it in performing work under that contract.
