Wayne moves forward on town manager job description; posting to follow after final edits
Summary
Select Board approved a town manager job description and directed staff to finalize the posting with EEO language, application materials and a timeline; the hiring committee will present a Q&A at the Jan. 7 meeting and board members discussed posting venues and costs.
The Town of Wayne Select Board approved a final job description for the town manager and agreed to finalize the public posting at the next meeting after incorporating EEO language and an application form.
Hazel and Mary Anne reported the job description itself is ready but the posting needs clarifications on the application process and EEO language; Hazel offered to complete the missing items and return a clean posting to the board. The hiring committee requested 10 minutes at the Jan. 7 select‑board meeting for a public question‑and‑answer session after it provides a written report of its work and timeline. Board members discussed where to post (Maine Municipal Association and other outlets) and estimated initial posting costs under $1,000.
"We need to decide where we're gonna post it and what we're gonna pay for it," Hazel said, asking the board to approve the posting logistics after the committee’s edits. The board voted to approve the job description as presented and set a goal of having the posting and application form ready for approval at the next meeting.
Why it matters: Filling the town manager role is a high‑priority personnel decision that affects town operations; the board emphasized transparency and a consistent set of priorities for evaluating candidates.
Next steps: The hiring committee will provide a report and participate in a Jan. 7 Q&A; Hazel and Mary Anne will finalize the posting and application materials and return them to the board for approval at the next meeting.
