Dana board names Bob Richardson acting president during John Davern’s temporary leave
Summary
At its Aug. 12 meeting, the Town of Dana board appointed Streets Commissioner Bob Richardson as Acting Board President after John Davern announced a temporary work-related leave; the board also scheduled an executive session on an employee pay matter.
The Town of Dana board on Aug. 12 appointed Bob Richardson as Acting Board President after Town President John Davern announced a temporary leave for work. The board moved and passed the appointment during routine new-business proceedings.
The action follows Davern’s announcement at the start of new business. Board members did not identify the motion’s mover or second in the minutes; the board recorded that the motion passed. The board also scheduled an executive session for Aug. 19, 2025, at 7:00 PM to address a separate employee pay issue that was tabled for further discussion.
Why it matters: The appointment hands routine leadership duties to Richardson while Davern is absent and sets a near-term personnel follow-up. The board did not record a roll-call vote count in the minutes; the minutes list the board’s attendance and note the motion passed.
The board adjourned after routine reports and public comment and set its next regular meeting for Sept. 9 at 7:00 PM.
