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 “Ebersole”, “Mr. Ebersole”, “R. Ebersole”, “Robert Ebersole”, not as a person. Matching that to Robert J. Ebersole 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

1 of the 11,062 minutes, agendas and other documents the town published print “Robert J. Ebersole” in full, from May 26, 2016 to May 26, 2016. 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.
