Plainfield town operations follow a chain of command that begins with
the registered voters of the town who elect selectmen and town
officials. The Select Board acts as the governing body and appoints a
Town Administrator to be in charge of day-to-day operations of the town
and to implement their policies.
The three-member Select Board is elected to staggered
three-year terms. They set policy, prepare an annual budget for
presentation to the Town Meeting, and follow through on votes that take
place at the annual town meeting. The Selectmen meet the first and third
Wednesday of each month at 6:00PM. 1st meeting is typically at the town
offices complex, 110 Main Street, 2nd meeting of the month is typically
at the Plainfield Library 1088 Route 12A. Public participation in these
meetings is encouraged -- we welcome your input.
