On March 30, 2021, Natick voters will select one member for the 5-person Select Board that will:
1) Hire Natick's next Town Administrator;
2) Navigate the impacts of a post-Covid 19 economy on Town revenue and
operations, including municipal services and school budgets;
3) Continue to incorporate feedback from community members, advisory
committees, and staff into policy
decisions, operating norms, and volunteer
appointments; and,
4) Examine Natick's governance model and its impact on the Town's ability to grow
and operate more effectively and equitably. Protecting and expanding the quality of life enjoyed in Natick will be especially challenging as economic uncertainty arising from the pandemic and the ongoing focus on equity in our community and its governance will require that the Town "do more, with less" and with greater, positive social impact. Natick is a small, but complex community, primarily overseen by three elected Boards (Select Board, School Committee, and Planning Board) whose members serve in a voluntary capacity. These policy and oversight boards work in tandem with each other and with various other committees, organizations, elected officials, professional staff and town employees to deliver the services and "home town" most desired by Natick's taxpayers. Paul offers:
- an experienced, objective, and collaborative approach;
- leadership that both listens and challenges the status quo;
- creative ideas and pragmatic solutions; and,
- a relentless desire to live in a Natick that is more affordable, accessible,
transparent, sustainable, and equitable.
