Planning Board and ZBA Membership Changes

This advances the roster-conflict tracker from a cross-page mismatch story to an internal-page mismatch on the dedicated Planning Board roster itself.

Recovered history

Earlier reporting

Updates preserved from the earlier Wilton Wire. These summaries have not been revalidated through the current evidence process.

Sep 23, 2026

Planning Board member page now shows its own count mismatch

Earlier checks focused on the townwide boards directory conflicting with dedicated member pages. This check adds a new problem: the dedicated Planning Board page itself says the board has seven members while displaying 10 named people, and the townwide directory still points readers to different roles and placements.

Sep 14, 2026

Town board and board-member pages still do not match across the Wilton website

Current town pages continue to conflict, and this review adds new specifics: the directory shows Jay Rifenbary and William Rice both as Planning Board chairman, puts Laura Lourenco and Keith Kaplan in the Town Board section, and lists both Christopher Iwinski and Bradford Wiggins as ZBA chairman.

Sep 7, 2026

Wilton board roster pages still conflict across town website

This review found broader cross-page roster conflicts than the active tracker summary alone: multiple chair listings, an extra Town Board name on the directory page, and a still-open Planning Board recruitment notice.

Aug 29, 2026

Planning Board member page still conflicts with recruitment notice

The membership-record issue now includes a direct contradiction on the Planning Board's own board-members page, not just across separate directory pages: the page says seven members but displays 10 names, while another official page advertises a Planning Board opening. (townofwilton.ny.gov)

Aug 7, 2026

Aug. 6 agenda listed Kelsey Mannix resignation from ZBA while roster pages still conflict

The public record of membership changes expanded again when the Aug. 6 Town Board agenda listed a Kelsey Mannix resignation from the ZBA, adding to already-conflicting roster pages.

Aug 6, 2026

Wilton roster conflict now includes Bobbitt on ZBA page

The roster conflict is no longer limited to Town Board and Planning Board pages; the ZBA members page still includes Andrew Bobbitt despite the July 2 resignation recorded in Town Board minutes.

Aug 5, 2026

July 2 minutes document Planning Board and ZBA resignations

A formal July 2 vote now confirms at least one of the membership changes that later showed up inconsistently across public roster pages.

Aug 4, 2026

Board directory now shows seven Town Board names

Compared with the Aug. 3 check, the townwide directory now clearly shows Keith Kaplan under Town Board as well as Laura Lourenco, widening the mismatch with the five-member elected roster and with the ZBA page that lists Kaplan as a ZBA member.

Jul 28, 2026

Wilton's Planning Board roster conflict now appears across two different Planning Board pages

The conflict is now broader than the earlier Planning Board-vs.-Town Board mismatch: Wilton's site currently contains two different Planning Board roster pages with different names on them.

Jul 23, 2026

Planning Board opening remains posted while roster pages still conflict

The town now publicly advertises a Planning Board opening, which is the clearest current sign of a vacancy, but roster pages still do not match each other.

Jul 11, 2026

Laura Lourenco's board status remains inconsistent across Wilton records

The conflict is now sharper because the live July 15 Planning Board agenda still carries Lourenco as an alternate after the July 2 resignation item.

Jul 2, 2026

July 2 agenda names Laura Kavanaugh Lourenco in Planning Board resignation item

The resignation item is now publicly tied to a named member rather than an unnamed agenda placeholder.
