Mount Holly Select Board interviews two treasurer candidates, moves into executive session
Summary
At a May 13 special meeting the Mount Holly Select Board interviewed Marc Miller and Amy Tayler for town treasurer and unanimously voted to enter executive session under Title 1 V.S.A. §313(a)(3) to discuss personnel; no appointment was made at the public meeting.
The Mount Holly Select Board met on May 13 to interview two candidates for the town treasurer position and then recessed into executive session to discuss personnel. Chair Mark Turco opened the special meeting, explaining the board intends to ask voters to switch the office to an appointed position while noting an elected treasurer could remain in place for up to one year after such a change.
The board heard from Marc Miller and Amy Tayler. Miller described prior banking experience, a remote restaurant business, familiarity with QuickBooks and audit work from serving as a town auditor in Stratton, and told the board he “would be comfortable managing investments for the Town.” He acknowledged he has no grant-management experience and that he will be away for a two-week period in August. Tayler recounted previous service as a town auditor, experience with bespoke accounting software and payroll tax processes with banks, and said she does not have QuickBooks experience and is not a CPA; she emphasized decades of customer-service experience and said she would consider running for the elected office after learning more about the role.
After the interviews, Mark Turco moved that the board enter executive session under Title 1 V.S.A. §313(a)(3) (personnel); Diana Garrow seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously. The public session concluded and the minutes were recorded as draft until approved at the next regular Select Board meeting.
