Manchester Selectboard to accept Letters of Interest for vacant seat; sets March 24 deadline
Summary
Following Greg Cutler's resignation, the Selectboard agreed to take Letters of Interest for the vacant seat with a two-week deadline (March 24) and to interview candidates before making an appointment, while staff confirm legal details with VLCT.
The Selectboard decided to solicit Letters of Interest to fill the vacancy left by Greg Cutler, setting a deadline of March 24 for submissions and planning interviews before making an appointment. Heidi Chamberlain suggested the two-week deadline during the March 10 special meeting and the board agreed.
Board members discussed whether to appoint a replacement or to hold a special election—either during the November elections or at a standalone Special Town Meeting. Town Manager Scott Murphy will check with the Vermont League of Cities and Towns and town attorneys about whether a person elected later this year could serve the remainder of Cutler's term (through March 2028) and whether Letters of Interest are public records. The board said it will review that guidance before scheduling interviews or selecting a candidate.
