Wolfeboro Select Board opens town manager recruitment, prioritizes water and Libby work plan
Summary
The Wolfeboro Select Board asked residents to volunteer for interview panels to recommend finalists for the next town manager, set a June 24 application deadline, and placed water/sewer planning and the Libby Museum on top of its work-plan priorities.
The Wolfeboro Board of Selectmen on June 3 announced it is recruiting volunteers to serve on two interview panels that will evaluate candidates for the town manager role and make advisory recommendations to the board. The board said applications must be received by June 24, 2026, and that panelists must be available during the weeks of July 27 through August 7.
The board read contact instructions into the record, including mailing applications to Michelle Chamberlain, human resources administrator, P.O. Box 629, Wolfeboro, NH 03894, or emailing townmanagersearch@wolfebrownh.us. The announcement said the search firm MRI will handle candidate confidentiality and application intake.
Why it matters: Board members said recruiting a town manager is a top priority in a new work plan that uses a prioritization matrix. The board also highlighted an impending capacity study for water and sewer infrastructure and directed staff to convene engineers for a public Q&A on June 24 to inform any possible warrant articles.
Board members described the work plan as a 4-bucket prioritization (do/schedule/consider/avoid) and identified four near-term "do" items: hire a town manager, prepare a five-year water and sewer plan, appraise and secure the Libby Museum collection, and migrate accounting/reporting tools. "We want a cross section of the community," the chair said, urging residents to apply to serve on interview panels. A capacity-study presentation and a round-table work session with engineers were scheduled so the board can develop budgets and timelines.
Next steps: The board will accept applications through June 24, hold the capacity-study discussion June 24, and continue work-plan item assignment at an upcoming workshop.
