Hubbardston Select Board accepts veteran affairs resignation, appoints temporary assistant treasurer
Summary
The Select Board accepted the resignation of veteran affairs representative Lauren Wright (effective Jan. 1, 2026) and appointed former assistant treasurer Sarah Risch as temporary assistant treasurer collector for up to 10 hours a week at her current rate, through Jan. 31 or until a replacement starts.
The Town of Hubbardston Select Board on Monday accepted the resignation of Lauren Wright as the town veteran affairs representative, effective Jan. 1, 2026, and approved a short-term personnel appointment to cover treasury duties.
Chair introduced Wright’s written resignation and told the board she had sent a letter. After a motion and second, the board voted to accept the resignation as presented.
The board then moved to appoint Sarah Risch, the town’s former assistant treasurer collector, as a temporary assistant treasurer collector. Risch proposed limited hours—Tuesdays from about 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., occasional Saturday mornings and one training evening—at her then-current pay rate. Board members negotiated a cap of up to 10 hours per week. A motion to appoint Risch until Jan. 31, 2026, or until a replacement starts (whichever is sooner), at her current rate and up to 10 hours per week was made, seconded and passed.
Board members discussed the search for a permanent assistant treasurer collector and said first-round interviews were ongoing; a follow-up update on hiring is expected at the next meeting. No vote totals were recorded on the public transcript for either action; the board recorded the motions as passed.
