Person

Paula Bertram

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

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

FY2016
first roster to print the name — Cable Advisory Committee, Montachusett Joint Transportation Committee; the earliest held, so it may go back further
FY2021
latest listing — Capital Planning Committee, Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School Representative, Planning Board, which has published since without the name
6 years
from the first roster that prints the name to the latest, inclusive, across 7 bodies
389
motions moved or seconded, at 66 meetings, in the town’s minutes
724
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 “Bertram”, “P Bertram”, “P. Bertram”, “Paula Bertram”, not as a person. Matching that to Paula Bertram 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

724 of the 11,062 minutes, agendas and other documents the town published print “Paula Bertram” in full, from Mar 23, 2009 to Dec 15, 2025. 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.
