Templeton Select Board approves town-administrator job description and authorizes posting of recruitment ad
Summary
The Select Board approved an updated town-administrator job description with minor edits and authorized a job posting; the board agreed that applications will be routed to the chair until a screening committee is formed.
The Town of Templeton Select Board approved an updated town-administrator job description and directed staff to post a recruitment advertisement. The board voted to approve the job description with the chair and a designated board member authorized to make minor edits before posting.
Members discussed the draft job description and asked for small wording adjustments (for example, harmonizing references to the "Select Board"). Select Board member Jeff (as identified in the meeting) offered the motion that the chair make the final copy edits based on the comments; the board voted to approve the description and to allow the chair to finalize edits.
The board then considered the recruitment ad. Assistant Town Administrator Holly said she would not be a candidate for the permanent town-administrator position. The board voted to post the job ad (short-form ad with a link to the full job description) and agreed that, until a screening committee is formed, all applications should be routed to the Select Board chair.
Votes recorded in the minutes show the board approved the job description and the posting plan, and the board asked staff to publish the ad to typical municipal posting venues and share the posting on listservs and social media.
Ending: The board approved the job description and authorized posting the recruitment ad with applications submitted to the chair until the board creates a screening committee to handle initial candidate review.
