Andover to advertise town administrator opening with $95,000–$120,000 salary range
Summary
The selectmen voted 5–0 to post the town administrator vacancy with a $95,000–$120,000 salary range and to include perks such as a car allowance in the advertisement; staff will finalize the job description before posting to job boards and the River East.
The Andover Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to advertise the vacant town administrator position with a salary range of $95,000 to $120,000 per year and to include information on car allowance and other perks in recruitment materials. Members directed staff to circulate the draft job description for board feedback before public posting.
Board members discussed using multiple recruiting platforms including LinkedIn, state municipal job boards and local outlets such as the River East. The range was set to reflect both entry-level candidates and more experienced applicants; the group discussed starting the advertised range near the prior administrator’s rate and adding 20–30% for high-experience candidates.
The motion to post the salary range and proceed with advertising passed 5–0 by roll call. Staff said they would locate the prior administrator’s contract for comparison and deliver a revised job description for board review before posting.
