Select Board approves revised treasurer-collector job description and sets hiring range
Summary
After the treasurer-collector announced a January resignation, administration revised the 2021 job description to align duties with Mass. General Law and recommended it report to the finance director. The board approved the updated description and a salary range of $80,000–$90,000.
The Select Board approved an updated job description for the Town of Lakeville treasurer-collector position and set a hiring range of $80,000 to $90,000 annually after staff notified the board the incumbent will resign in January.
Administration said it reviewed the 2021 posting, compared it to Mass. General Law duties, and added tasks such as maintaining custody of municipal financial documents, preparing debt and interest schedules, and maintaining a cash book. The revised posting also specifies that the position will report to the finance director rather than directly to the town administrator.
Board members discussed whether the role remains a department head when it reports to another director, noting that reporting lines like this exist in other municipalities. One board member moved to set the salary range at $80,000–$90,000; the motion carried on roll call. The board then moved to approve the revised job description as presented and voted to adopt it.
The administration said the advertised hiring rate will be aligned with the current incumbent’s pay and the stated range; Human Resources will proceed with recruitment following the board’s vote.
No specific candidate was discussed at the Nov. 29 meeting.
