Selectmen promote DPW operator Charles Drabek to interim Road Foreman
Summary
Charles Drabek was promoted to interim Road Foreman effective upon the retirement of Robert Littlefield, with a six‑month probationary review and a salary progression from $31 to $33 per hour after probation.
The Tolland Board of Selectmen voted unanimously on Feb. 9 to promote Department of Public Works operator Charles Drabek to interim Road Foreman, effective upon the retirement of Robert Littlefield.
The Board recorded that Charles holds Class A licenses and that a six‑month probationary review will occur. The minutes record a proposed salary progression: $31 per hour during the six‑month probation, increasing to $33 per hour afterward; if a cost‑of‑living adjustment is approved in the FY27 budget, Drabek would receive that increase as well. The Board agreed to review the position again in six months.
Why it matters: the promotion fills a key operational leadership role in DPW and was unanimously supported by the Board.
Next steps: HR and DPW will implement the promotion upon Robert Littlefield’s retirement and conduct a six‑month review of the interim appointment.
