Town administrator to shift to a 10-hour weekly role, board outlines funding and project priorities
Summary
The town administrator told the Selectboard she will move to an assistant town-administrator/project-coordinator role limited to 10 hours per week after town meeting; priorities include pursuing MURP funding (discussed as roughly $430k—650k range), overseeing the town-office project and several culverts, and supporting wastewater work with Windham Regional.
The Londonderry town administrator told the Selectboard she will step down after town meeting and transition to a limited assistant town-administrator/project-coordinator role, capped at 10 hours per week under her contract.
"After which I'll no longer be your town administrator," the administrator said, adding she plans to be in the office Thursdays to support the town-office project and to focus on bringing in MURP funding for two projects (discussed in the meeting as roughly "450 somewhat thousand dollars, 4 and 30,000, I think"). She told the board she would continue to advise on Reinhardt Road and Spring Hill Road culvert projects and provide limited oversight on wastewater, working with Matt Bockler from Windham Regional.
Board members raised concerns about whether 10 hours per week would be sufficient for needed work, particularly during the 20-day period when the town will not have an on-site town administrator. The administrator agreed to prioritize revenue drawdowns and project milestones and to prepare handover materials for the incoming administrator. The board discussed using VLCT consultants to assist orienting the new administrator.
What happens next: the administrator will hand over materials, the board will coordinate coverage during the transition period, and staff will pursue the MURP funding described in the meeting record.
