Town council liaison: $7.8M firehouse referendum headed to November ballot; town manager to resign
Summary
The town council passed a resolution to put a $7.8 million firehouse demolition-and-rebuild proposal on the November ballot; commissioners were also told the town manager has submitted a resignation with a likely September departure and an executive session planned to outline the search.
The town council liaison told the commission a resolution passed at the last town council meeting to place a referendum on the November ballot seeking $7,800,000 to demolish and rebuild the firehouse. The liaison summarized a facilities director presentation and a space-needs assessment noting multiple town departments need additional space; the result will be specific design and program decisions for the proposed new building.
Commissioners also heard that the town manager has tendered a resignation and that, under his contract, a 45-day period applies; the liaison said the departure is likely to be effective in September. An executive session is scheduled next week to set parameters for a national search and to discuss whether an interim manager will be appointed.
