MARLBOROUGH -- June 30, 2025, Marlborough's Personnel Committee unanimously advanced seven mayoral picks, including four ZBA reappointments and three new board members. The committee voted 2-0 on each order from Mayor J. Christian Dumas: reappointing Ralph Loftin, Thomas Golden, Robert Levine and Thomas Pope to the Zoning Board of Appeals; appointing Rob McCabe Jr. to the Conservation Commission through April 28, 2028; Peter B. Welch to the Historical Commission through June 19, 2028; and Deborah Jakubowski Russ to the Library Board of Trustees through Feb. 1, 2028. ZBA member Robert Levine pressed the city to recruit alternates, saying a four-member quorum forces unanimous decisions and "can be uncomfortable." Council President Austin conceded "we can't even fill the boards that we have." Conservation Chair Ed Clancy, on the commission since 1968, personally vouched for McCabe.
