GOSHEN — Residents at Saturday’s annual Town Meeting agreed to ask the Legislature to allow it to rename the Board of Selectmen to the Select Board, and to push the back the dates for its annual meeting and town elections.

These were among the 25 articles on the warrant at Saturday morning’s annual Town Meeting, at which all measures passed, the majority of which did so unanimously.

“It went by really quickly,” Town Clerk Kristin Estelle said. “It started at 9:35 (a.m.). We were done by 11:15 (a.m.).”

Of the town’s 804 registered voters, 67 showed up for the meeting. Masks were optional, and Estelle said that there was a general happiness at the meeting from people being together again.

“People were so pleasant,” she said.

Dawn Scaparotti, interim town administrator and Finance Committee chair, also spoke about Saturday’s meeting positively.

“There were not a lot of questions,” Scaparotti said.

Among the items that passed were changing the dates of the annual Town Meeting to the third Saturday in May instead of the third Monday in May; the annual town election would be the first Saturday in June instead of the first Saturday in May; and the annual town caucus would take place on the second Monday in April instead of the third Monday in March.

Other items approved include the town’s $3.3 million budget, and a request to the Legislature to formally change the name of the Board of Selectmen to Select Board.

Scaparotti also expressed relief that the town made it through two annual Town Meetings under COVID-19.

In addition, Fire Chief Susan Labrie and husband Bob Labrie were honored for their service to the Fire Department and Police Chief Jeffrey Hewes and wife Donna Hewes honored for their service on the Police Department through state citations presented by Rep. Natalie Blais, D-Sunderland.

The Heweses were not present but the Labries were.

“Sue got a standing ovation,” Estelle said. “Natalie talked about how Sue really paved the way for people like herself.”

Labrie was the first woman to become a fire chief in Massachusetts history when she was appointed to the job in 2006, and she and her husband have been on the Fire Department since 1989. Jeffrey Hewes became police chief in Goshen in 2000, and Donna Hewes became a police officer that year. Both couples are retiring this month.
