The Hampden Town Council unanimously approved a three-year employment agreement for Town Manager Paula Scott covering 03/01/2026 through 03/01/2029 and amended section 5(d) to change vacation accrual from 160 to 200 hours before adopting the agreement (vote 7-0).
A councilor moved the contract amendment to restore a previously discussed vacation allocation; another councilor seconded the amendment. There was no public comment on the employment agreement item. Councilors praised the manager’s service during discussion: "I believe this town is fortunate to have this town manager," one councilor said. The amended motion then passed by roll call and the assembled council approved the overall employment agreement as amended.
