Select Board advances multiple hiring steps: screening committee, assistant‑treasurer interviews and EA extension
Summary
The board set application deadlines and screening‑committee composition for multiple municipal hires, scheduled interviews for building‑department and treasurer positions, and extended the executive assistant appointment through Jan. 31, 2026.
The Hubbardston Select Board advanced several personnel items Monday, setting application and screening timelines and approving a short extension for the executive assistant.
Tricia confirmed the screening committee will include two employees, a finance‑related representative and three at‑large residents; applications for the committee and vacancies are due January 13 with recommendations to the Select Board on January 19. The board said it prefers to have employees and a finance representative on the panel but offered to sit in if necessary to complete the committee.
On the building‑department hiring effort, board members reported multiple interviews are scheduled; the part‑time planner Alec flagged limits in his contract that prevent him from applying for competitive grants through his full‑time employer, a point the board will consider when assigning grant responsibilities. The board also discussed supporting Leanne, the building‑department staffer, with additional planner hours if possible.
Separately the board voted to extend the appointment of Bridal Lowe as executive assistant through January 31, 2026, to maintain administrative continuity while interviews continue.
The board instructed staff to consolidate departmental requests and to return with a prioritized list of items for future agendas.
