Submitted Select Board recording contains no Melrose business, shows Malden interview instead

MELROSE — May 16, 2026 — A recording filed as the Melrose Select Board meeting of May 16, 2026 contains no Melrose municipal business. The 16-minute segment is an episode of "Conversations with Kate," hosted by state Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian of the 32nd Middlesex District, in which she interviews Malden Ward 5 City Councilor Ari Taylor about Taylor's background, her first months on the council, and community events in Malden's Ward 5. No Melrose officials appear, no Melrose agenda items are discussed, and no votes are taken. Editors should verify whether the file was submitted to the Melrose community-access TV archive in error before any publication proceeds.
