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

first roster to print the name — Select Board; the earliest held, so it may go back further
FY2017
latest listing — Select Board, which has published since without the name

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 “Ms. Bertram”, “P Bertram”, “P. Bertram”, “P. bertram” and other forms, not as a person. Matching that to Paula J. 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

7 of the 11,062 minutes, agendas and other documents the town published print “Paula J. Bertram” in full, from Jul 6, 2010 to Aug 14, 2024. 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.
