Hubbardston board extends Town Administrator through year-end and authorizes chair to sign contract
Summary
After the selected candidate accepted another job, the Select Board agreed to keep Town Administrator Sean through Dec. 31, reviewed a small contract wording change about health insurance, and voted to authorize the chair to sign the revised contract.
The Hubbardston Select Board agreed to retain Town Administrator Sean through Dec. 31 after the candidate the town had chosen took another job. The board voted to authorize the chair to sign the contract as presented and discussed a wording change regarding health insurance eligibility.
Chair explained that the originally selected candidate accepted another offer, so the board negotiated an extension with Sean to maintain continuity while the town reconvenes a selection committee and restarts the hiring process. "We worked out an agreement for him to stay through December 31," the chair said.
Board members scrutinized a contract line about health insurance eligibility. Sean clarified that he would not be taking the town’s health insurance but would remain eligible for other benefits, including retirement, and that the contract text had been adjusted for clarity. After a brief review, a member moved that the chair be authorized to sign the contract; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
What’s next: The board said it will reconvene or reconfigure the selection committee and restart recruitment for the Town Administrator role; the chair will sign the contract and the board will report back on the search timeline.
