Select Board approves three‑year contract for interim town administrator Kieran
Summary
The Townsend Select Board voted to offer a three‑year employment contract to interim town administrator Kieran, including first‑year finance and HR training and board‑discretion bonuses; the contract will be signed out of session.
The Townsend Select Board on June 30 voted to approve a three‑year employment contract converting interim town administrator Kieran into the town's full‑time town administrator.
The contract provides for training in finance and human resources in the first year, with bonus opportunities tied to completing the training and additional bonuses at the select board's discretion. The interim town administrator said the total three‑year cost remains largely within the amount allocated at town meeting for this position. The board agreed to set specific performance goals within the next 30–60 days.
The board’s motion to approve the contract passed by roll call and members planned to sign the contract out of session. Kieran thanked the board and said he welcomed feedback as he begins the full‑time role.
The board noted the contract anticipates the board expanding from three to five members in the near future and tasked current members with orienting any new board members to the administrator's goals and the budget cycle.
