Summary
The Select Board approved the FY2026 performance review for the town manager, recording an aggregate score above expectations and citing leadership on World Cup planning, strategic planning progress and improved interdepartmental collaboration.
The Select Board voted to approve the FY2026 performance review for the town manager after receiving an aggregated evaluation covering the period from April 21, 2025 to March 31, 2026.
A presenter summarized the aggregated results and narrative, saying the town manager received an aggregate score reflecting performance above expectations and noting accomplishments in World Cup coordination, craft-group negotiations, strategic planning and transparent communication with residents and department heads. The presenter said the review highlighted strong leadership, staff collaboration and improvements to organizational culture.
Board members offered remarks about the evaluation instrument and scoring details; one member noted the inability to use half-point scores in the current tool and suggested a tweak for next year. Multiple board members praised the town manager for handling complex, high-profile matters and guiding interdepartmental coordination. The Select Board then moved and approved the performance review by voice vote.
The approved review will be recorded in town files and used as the basis for any follow-up development and goal-setting with the manager.
