Franklin County names Edward Adams highway superintendent after Marsh retirement
Summary
The Legislature appointed Edward Adams as county Highway Superintendent effective Sept. 29, 2020, following Bradford Marsh's retirement; the board set a 2020 salary of $72,000 and approved related staffing authorizations.
Franklin County legislators on Sept. 17 appointed Edward Adams as the county Highway Superintendent, effective Sept. 29, 2020, following a retirement letter from incumbent Bradford Marsh.
Resolution No. 195, offered by the Public Works & Services Committee, sets Adams' Category A appointment for a four-year term through Sept. 28, 2024. The resolution sets a 2020 annual salary of $72,000 and states the salary for the remainder of the term will follow the county's Non-Union Salary Policy.
Clerk Penny A. Premo read a retirement letter from Bradford Marsh earlier in the meeting notifying the board of his retirement effective Sept. 29. The board approved the appointment unanimously (motion by Legislator Lauzon, seconded by Legislator Janisewski).
Why it matters: Leadership changes at the Highway Department affect project oversight and contract-signing authority; the appointment coincides with authorizations that allow the Highway Superintendent to execute agreements tied to federally aided projects and local capital work.
The resolution was adopted unanimously. The transcript does not specify whether Marsh will provide transition support or the exact date Adams assumes day-to-day duties beyond the Sept. 29 effective date.
