Select Board appoints William Hart as part‑time Kensington police officer
Summary
The board voted by voice to appoint William (Bill) Hart as a part‑time police officer after the chief introduced the candidate and members described his prior law‑enforcement and legal experience. The motion carried by voice vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
The Kensington Select Board approved the appointment of William (Bill) Hart as a part‑time police officer.
The chief of police introduced Hart, who was described as a former county attorney and a past police chief with prior state and federal experience. A select board member moved to appoint Hart to a part‑time officer position with no stated expiration; the motion was seconded. The board voted by voice; the chair called for 'all in favor' and members responded 'Aye.' The chair declared the motion approved.
Board members said the position fills a longstanding open role in the department and that the appointment will not add a new budget line because the role is covered within existing allocations.
The appointment was the only formal action recorded at that point in the meeting; minutes will reflect the vote and the chief said administrative steps (background, academy paperwork) had already been completed.
