Summary

The Town Board decided not to name department heads at this time; instead, two board members will be appointed to oversee specific projects as they arise. The motion passed unanimously May 13, 2025.

Mayor Steve Dickey told the Board he believed it would be better "to not have department heads at this time" and suggested appointing two Board members to oversee specific projects when needed. Norma Meyer seconded the motion and the Board approved the approach unanimously.

The motion directs the Board to assign oversight on a per-project basis rather than creating standing departmental leadership positions. The minutes do not specify which projects will be covered first or how oversight responsibilities will be documented.
