Trustees approve town manager agreement, contingent on final background check
Summary
Trustees approved the new town manager agreement as signed and notarized but made approval contingent on receipt of the final sheriff's background check; the board voted by voice without recorded dissent.
Trustees approved a new town manager agreement on a motion that made final approval contingent on receipt of the sheriff's department background check.
Trustee Bell moved that the board "consider approval of the town manager agreement, contingent upon the background check as written," and Trustee King seconded; the chair called for the ayes and the motion carried. The mayor noted the agreement is signed and notarized but recommended the contingency so the board could finalize administrative steps only after the full background report is received. The appointee, Caleb Patterson, addressed the board by Zoom and thanked trustees, saying he looked forward to starting once the background check is complete.
The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; the minutes show a voice vote with no oppositions spoken. Trustees also discussed scheduling a performance-evaluation timeline for interim or short-term arrangements and preserving a recusal option when the incoming manager participates on planning matters.
