Town Administrator Shane O'Keefe informed the Selectboard that following Town Meeting he will transition to the Assistant Town Administrator/Project Coordinator position at a reduced schedule of up to 10 hours per week and that the town will have a 20-day gap before the new Town Administrator begins.
