Aileen Chute, chair of the Putney Selectboard, told the board on Feb. 19 that she has accepted the Town Administrator position in Londonderry, Vermont and said she will not continue as chair once that position takes effect. She advised the Selectboard to consider who should serve as chair next and invited public comment on the choice; the board makes the official selection.
The announcement came early in the meeting, which convened at 5:30 p.m. The board noted the upcoming Town Meeting on March 4 and a reorganization of the Selectboard scheduled for March 5, 2025, when the new chair will be chosen. No formal motion about Chute's chairmanship was recorded; the meeting proceeded with routine business.
Beyond the announcement, the board approved routine items including minutes and warrants, and set assignments for presenting Town Meeting articles.
