Chester board authorizes vendor hire for Town Hall custodian after limited responses
Summary
Facing few individual applicants for a custodial position, the Chester Select Board on May 4 authorized the Town Administrator to hire a vendor to provide Town Hall custodian services; the motion passed unanimously.
The Chester Select Board on May 4 authorized Town Administrator Andrew Alward to hire a vendor for Town Hall custodian services after a limited response to the search for an individual custodian.
Alward told the board he had expanded the search to include local cleaning businesses. Select Board member Brian Forgue moved to authorize the Town Administrator to hire a vendor for the custodial position; Jill Strong seconded and the motion passed.
Board members discussed whether to hire an individual employee or a contracted company; the authorization gives the Town Administrator flexibility to contract with a vendor if that produces better responses. The motion, as recorded in the minutes, passed without recorded dissent.
Next steps described in the meeting included administrative follow-up by the Town Administrator to procure vendor proposals and confirm service arrangements for the Town Hall custodian role.
