DPW superintendent to resign as animal inspector; new DPW hire starts without issue
Summary
DPW Superintendent Kate Donovan notified the Board that she will resign as the town's animal inspector effective July 1 and that a new DPW staff member, Steve Leonard, started without issue.
DPW Superintendent Kate Donovan told the Board of Selectmen on March 30 that she will resign as the town’s animal inspector effective July 1 and that she is aware of an individual interested in that role. Donovan also reported that a new DPW staff member, Steve Leonard, started that day and that there were no issues with the new hire’s first day.
The board did not record a formal appointment to fill the animal inspector role during the meeting; Donovan’s resignation will be processed and the town will consider candidates for the position ahead of the July 1 effective date.
Why it matters: The animal inspector role is a statutory or administrative position tied to public animal-safety responsibilities; the town will need to confirm an interim or replacement inspector by July 1 to ensure continuity.
