Selectmen approve sole-source contract for town administrator search and approve vouchers totaling $83,916.45
Summary
The board approved a sole-source contract with Randi Frank Consulting, LLC to run the town administrator search and approved six vouchers totaling $83,916.45. Minutes did not specify contract compensation or detailed search timeline.
The Board of Selectmen on Tuesday approved a sole-source engagement with Randi Frank Consulting, LLC to conduct the town administrator search, and approved vouchers totaling $83,916.45.
First Selectman Joe Bellavance told the board he had met several times with Randi Frank and described her engagement as a sole-source consultant, which the minutes say removes the need for a competitive bid. Selectman Kayla Burgess moved to proceed with a contract with Randi Frank Consulting; Selectman Sherri Vogt seconded and the motion passed.
The minutes do not list a contract amount or a search timeline; the board's action at the meeting authorized entering into the engagement but did not record an expenditure for the consultant in the motion text.
The board also approved a single motion to pay six vouchers: #1658 ($60,023.82), #1659 ($1,229.72), #1660 ($620.02), #1661 ($175.34), #1662 ($488.87) and #1663 ($21,378.68), for a combined total of $83,916.45. The motion to approve the vouchers was moved by Kayla Burgess, seconded, and passed.
Public comment during the meeting included resident Susan Wasstrom's praise for the May 28 town forum and an inquiry about whether permitting issues could delay the Day Street project. The board adjourned at 5:56 p.m.
Next steps: the board expects staff to finalize the consultant engagement paperwork and to return with any timeline or cost details; the minutes do not record a schedule for the administrator search.
