Selectmen accept highway resignation and authorize Class 1 operator posting
Summary
The board accepted the resignation of a highway department operator effective the 18th and authorized posting for an upgraded Operator Class 1 position, citing urgent workload and a need to train a replacement; motions carried unanimously.
The Board of Selectmen voted to accept a resignation from a highway department employee and to post an upgraded Operator Class 1 position to fill the vacancy.
The board heard that the resignation is effective on the 18th; meeting remarks stressed the urgency of filling the position because of current workloads. One selectman said he was "devastated for the town" on learning of the resignation, and the board moved quickly to authorize recruitment.
A selectman moved to accept the resignation and the motion passed on a unanimous voice vote. The board then approved posting the upgraded Class 1 operator job and agreed the town needs to train a replacement promptly to maintain streets and services.
Next steps: the highway superintendent and town staff will post the job, accept applications and begin recruitment and training once a hire is made.
