Person

Damon McQuaid

Chairman, Capital Planning Committee — as of the FY2021 annual town report.

Possibly the same person as Damon J. McQuaid — a name printed two ways. Nothing here proves it is one person or two.

FY2016
first roster to print the name — Building Reuse Committee, Planning Board; the earliest held, so it may go back further
FY2021
latest listing — Capital Planning Committee, which has published since without the name
6 years
from the first roster that prints the name to the latest, inclusive, across 4 bodies
443
motions moved or seconded, at 110 meetings, in the town’s minutes
562
town documents print the full name, of 11,062 searched

A roster is a snapshot, undated within its year. The first year that prints a name is not a start date, and a year that omits it is not a departure — it is a year the town did not print it.

The minutes print a mover as “D. McQuaid”, “Damon M.”, “Damon McQuaid”, “McQuaid” and other forms, not as a person. Matching that to Damon McQuaid is ours: the surname and first initial against the members this board’s roster prints within a year of the meeting, and only where exactly one member fits. The latest 25 are listed; every vote is on the board’s own votes page.

Named in the town’s documents

562 of the 11,062 minutes, agendas and other documents the town published print “Damon McQuaid” in full, from Sep 12, 2011 to Nov 17, 2026. That is a floor: minutes mostly print “Mr.” or “Ms.” and a surname.

What this page does not show

  • A start or end date. The town’s rosters are annual and undated within the year.
  • Pay, hours or which fund pays the post. Rosters print a name and a title only.
  • That one name is one person. Two people with this name in two bodies or two decades would share this page.
  • Why a name stops appearing. A move, a leave, a retirement and a roster that left somebody off all look the same.
