Hubbardston board accepts resignations, authorizes exit interviews and immediate postings for key town positions
Summary
The Select Board accepted four recent resignations, asked two board members to seek exit interviews, and instructed the town administrator to post vacancies for treasurer, executive assistant and DPW laborer positions immediately.
The Hubbardston Select Board accepted the resignations of building commissioner David Horn (effective 11/26/2025), DPW laborer Brendan McDonald (effective 11/14/2025), Treasurer Mary LaRue (effective 12/04/2025) and Executive Assistant Patricia Lowe (effective 12/11/2025). The board voted to authorize two board members to attempt exit interviews with the departing staff and directed the town administrator to post the vacant positions immediately.
Heather moved the three‑part motion — accept the resignations, authorize Peter and Heather to conduct exit‑interview attempts, and instruct the town administrator to post the openings — and the board approved the motion by voice vote ('Aye'). Board members discussed whether exit interviews would be done by an executive body or by two members in public session, and they concluded two board members would attempt interviews while respecting confidentiality and legal constraints.
Board members emphasized the urgency of posting the treasurer and executive assistant positions so recruitment can proceed quickly given the December effective dates noted in letters from staff. The board also agreed to draft thank‑you letters to the departing employees and to place copies in personnel files.
