Eden Selectboard appoints Faye Cochran as interim dog officer after executive session
Summary
After an executive session on personnel, the Eden Selectboard ratified an earlier decision and voted to have Faye Cochran serve as interim dog officer; the board had earlier tabled a different applicant.
The Eden Selectboard on July 22, 2025, voted to appoint Faye Cochran to act as an interim dog officer.
The board first entered executive session at 8:05 p.m. under Vermont Statute VSA 313 a(3) to discuss the appointment, employment, or evaluation of a public officer or employee; the session ended at 8:50 p.m., and the minutes state that "no decisions were made" during that executive session. After returning to open session, Ricky Morin moved to ratify a decision from the July 16, 2025 meeting and then moved that "Faye Cochran act as an interim dog officer for the time being." Clayton Whittemore seconded; the motion passed. The minutes record the action as approved but do not provide a vote tally.
The decision followed an earlier public expression of interest by resident William Kulakowski to serve as interim animal control; the board voted earlier in the meeting to table that appointment for a later date. The minutes do not record any additional terms for Cochran’s interim assignment, such as duration or compensation.
