Presentation with Chief Assessor Ann MacCarthy —Assessment 101 Chief Assessor Ms. Ann MacCarthy was present and provided a presentation on tax classification. She began by stating that one of the biggest misunderstandings people have is that they make no changes to their homes but their values go up. She stated that they look at the market value of each property every year. They look at the sales analysis and factors like time on the market, location, style of house, age and condition of property. Ms. MacCarthy then provided a small sampling of properties and many of the assessed values were much lower than the price the houses sold at and many properties have sold for over the listing price. She then stated that commercial values are much harder to assess and use three different forms of value: Cost Approach, Income Approach and the Sales Approach. She noted that commercial and industrial properties are required to submit an income and expense form to the Assessor's office yearly to assist with data accuracy. She then went through the calculation of how to get the levy limit and the process of the tax classification. The Select Board members asked some questions and discussed the tax shift over the past several years. 9.

Ms. Aronstein then provided an update on the surplus properties, Chamber of Commerce and the 495/Metrowest Partnership. She also stated that there was a budget transfer to assist with the census mailing for the Town Clerk's office. Ms. Aronstein spoke about grants that have been submitted and she noted that she visited the Bio-Incubator and the Mansfield Select Board Meeting Minutes July 15, 2026 food pantry and also filmed her first cable show. Ms. Aronstein stated that she has lifted the spending freeze but has asked all employees to shop around and be sure they are purchasing items that are needed at the lowest price and encouraged everyone to be conservative with those purchases. She was happy to report that the Town will receive $300,000 from the State for the snow and ice deficit. Ms. Aronstein then spoke about the two focus groups she has planned and lastly, she noted that the bid opening will be Friday at 10am for the Roland Green Parcels.

Public Comment (Per the Select Board Operating Procedures: The Chair may give visitors who are not listed on the agenda an opportunity to speak to the Board during the Public Comments session; however, the Chair may limit their speaking time at the discretion of the Chair.) Ms. Sally Fehervari of 86 Lawndale Road came forward and thanked the Board for the approval of the flag raising at the Pride Event and the Juneteenth event. She stated that they were recorded by Mansfield Cable Access and they were successful uplifting events. Ms. Diane Ready of 38 Mill Farm Drive came forward and stated that speaking as a resident and not as a School Committee member. She stated that she was in favor of the draft of the policy that ensures the raising of the Juneteenth and Pride flags and her reasons why she supported it. Mr. Mike Robinson of 21 Shields Street came forward and commented that he would say everything that Ms. Ready just said. He added it was important that the community show that it is a welcoming place. Ms. Maureen Doherty of 3 Darby Drive came forward and commented that what has been said tonight is not the voice of the entire Town. She stated that as a Select Board member the members are to be independent and non -partisan. She commented that she did some research on Facebook and counted the responses on posts about flags and 81% of the people wanted only government flags and 18% responded that they wanted Juneteenth and Pride flags. She encouraged the Board to consider what is in the best interest of the Town when making a decision. Ms. Beth Collins of 7 Atwood Street came forward and stated why it was important for the Town to continue to raise the Pride and Juneteenth flags during the month of June. Ms. Jean Southard of 15 Old Elm Street came forward and stated this July is the 2501h Anniversary of this country. She stated that this is a good time to remember that not all people were treated equally here. Our country has not done what it should have done for all the people and we should say that we want to do better and we believe in all human beings and putting up the Pride and Juneteenth flags is a sign that American can do better. Ms. Amy Maricle of 5 Juniper Drive came forward and stated that it was great to see that this conversation has been civil and kind. She stated she wants to see both flags continued to be flown. She shared that her stepson feels more welcome and the Juneteenth flag is also an important statement about what we believe and how we are going to act and that we are going to treat people with kindness and respect. Ms. Sally Fehervari came forward again and commented that the pride and Juneteenth events were not happening so the Mansfield Democratic Town Meeting held them to fulfill a need in the community. She stated that it is not a political thing it is a human rights thing. Ms. Marcia Szymanski of 29 Pleasant Street came forward and stated that she was a member of the LGBTQ Community and spent forty years closeted because she was really concerned about being who she was in the Select Board Meeting Minutes July 15, 2026 community. She believes it is important that these flags be flown in our community and for people to see that this is a welcoming community. Ms. Evelyn Steel of 90 Pratt Street came forward and stated that the Town Hall is a government building and it should have the US flag, State Flag and Town flag. She stated that if the Town is going to be inclusive it would need to fly all flags other than just the pride and Juneteenth. Ms. Nancy Margerum of 45 Hope Street came forward and stated that she is the mom of a gay man and she likes seeing the Pride and Juneteenth flags because she knows its welcoming and shows the people who are moving here that everyone is welcome here. She also noted that they are different from religious flags. Ms. Barbara Gordon of 74 Pleasant Street came forward and stated that what flag Mansfield decides to fly or not fly announces Mansfield's values to the public. She stated that she is a Jewish resident and is concerned with the rise in violence against immigrants, Muslims, black, brown, LGBTQ and Jewish people in this country and she wonders what demographic will be next. She asks the Board to do the right thing and celebrate everyone and continue to raise these flags. Mr. George Chmielecki of 795 Ware Street came forward and stated that he looked at this from a different angle. He looked at it as to what our Republic stands for and what the Constitution stands for. He stated that we live in a Republic where the majority rules and we should put up what the majority wants to put up. He stated that while the majority rules there is a second part to that statement which states "with minority rights, the majority can not trample that minorities." He stated that the Town needs to fly the flags so that the Town recognizes minority rights. Mr. Mike Robinson of 21 Shields Street came forward and stated that in the Facebook Group Everything Mansfield it is often times people who might be afraid of discrimination and do not want to add their voice and put their name on a list. He stated that it is interesting that here in 2026 and there are two flags being called out and that is a peculiarity. Mr. Edward Chase of 5 Darby Drive came forward and stated that the pride flag and Juneteenth flag should continue to be flown. He stated that people do go to the election polls and there is a lot of interest in many areas but this is an important issue for the Town and people will be paying attention to how each member votes and he hopes they do the right thing. Ms. Frances MacDonald of 24 Bird Road was present virtually. She stated that we need to clearly recap what brought us these changes. She stated that the Town Manager brought it to the attention because there have been recent lawsuits and rulings on government flag poles. She stated that she appreciated everyone's emotion on the topic, but she sees it as the Town Manager and Select Board's job to protect the Town. Ms. MacDonald stated that there have been numerous law suits and we should be doing everything we can to stay neutral which is the basic government philosophy. She stated that anyone can fly flags at their home and their businesses. She stated that this is not about being inclusive or not inclusive this is about protecting the Town from lawsuits. 11. Discussion and Possible Vote to Revise Flag Policy Mr. Roche commented that he appreciated all the comments and emails. He stated he prefers version two that is inclusive of the two flags. He stated that this topic has been at the forefront of his mind for the past couple months and thinks the policy is written clearly. Mr. Corsillo commented that this is not a Democrat verses Republican thing and it is not a political statement. He then quoted a 2019 statistic that stated that having one supportive adult can reduce the chances that a young LGBTQ person will commit suicide by forty percent. He believes that the Pride flag flying in front of Town Hall for two and a half weeks can have an impact it is a highly visible symbol that can tell people that they are welcome here. Mr. Loukos started by stating that Francis MacDonald made an excellent point of how we got here. He stated the City of Boston Select Board Meeting Minutes July 15, 2026 denied raising a flag and they were sued. Their policy allowed them to pick and choose which flags to fly which the courts believed they turned the flag pole into a public platform and therefore violating a first amendment right when they denied the flag. He stated that the current Select Board's policy was sent to our new Town Counsel and the Board asked if the policy could be drafted to include the Pride and Juneteenth flags in a way that would not put the Town in legal jeopardy. He then stated that there is nothing partisan about the flags. He stated that the flag policy decision has not been taken lightly and residents do vote for Select Board members who are making policy decisions based on what they think is the best for the Town. He stated that he would not be in favor of the policy if he thought it was putting the Town in legal jeopardy. Mr. Wilk stated that the version one policy is just allowing government flags which legal counsel confirms that the Town would not be litigated against and the version two policy allows the addition of the Pride Progressive flag and the Juneteenth flag for the month of June. Mr. Feck stated that these have been great conversations and everyone has been civil and these are difficult decisions. He believes Mansfield is an inclusive and diverse community. He stated that his biggest concern has been the potential litigation that could happen. He stated that the policy can not be changed and believed that if other groups wanted to fly a flag it would be discriminating them if the policy includes only two flags and no others. Mr. Wilk stated that when he first came on the Board there were six figure legal bills with employees of the Town. He noted that the Select Board members are financial stewards of the Town and he would like to take the most conservative approach which is just flying the government flag. He stated that it is not a popular position to take but he looking to avoid future litigation. Mr. Loukos commented that he agrees that they need to protect the Town and respects Mr. Wilk's decision but to him it was equally as important to not let someone who would potentially sue the Town to bully the Town to silence and determine our policy. Motion: To approve the revised flag policy labeled version two which includes the Pride and Juneteenth. (Corsillo/Roche) Passes 3:2 12. Discussion and Possible Vote to Extend the 250th Celebration Committee's Charge for Legacy Project Ms. Aronstein stated that the 250th Celebration Committee met to discuss completing a legacy project with their remaining balance. They have through this calendar year to use the funds. They will be adding a plaque to the time capsule and will have a liberty tree planted in September. She stated that they then discussed a public art project which would be great for creating tourism. The committee agreed on having big statues of geese, which ties to the history. They would be placed near places that have historical significance and each goose would have a QR code to explain the history of the spot. Mr. Corsillo commented that the only concern is that the audio files linked to the QR codes would have to go to a website and there would be a continued cost for maintaining that. Ms. Aronstein responded that she is resourceful and they could live maybe with Mansfield Cable or YouTube so there would not be a cost. Motion: To extend the charge of the 25011 Celebration Committee until December 31, 2026. (Corsillo/Roche) Passes 5:0 13.
