Weston Selectboard unanimously selects Road Foreman; announcement set for April 28
Summary
After an April 17 executive session held under 1 V.S.A. § 313(a)(3), the Town of Weston Selectboard announced it had unanimously chosen a candidate for Road Foreman; the board voted to notify unsuccessful applicants by phone and to formally announce the hire at the April 28 meeting.
The Weston Selectboard moved into executive session on April 17, 2026, and announced a unanimous choice for Road Foreman on returning to open session. The board recorded entering executive session at 4:33 p.m. and exiting at 5:00 p.m.; the meeting later adjourned at 5:10 p.m. The selected candidate has been called and accepted the position, though the candidate’s name was not specified in the record.
Vice Chair Jim Linville made a motion to "inform all candidates that were not chosen right away by phone and thank applicants for their interest and announcement of chosen candidate announced at the next Selectboard meeting," which was seconded by Brian Gehlich; the motion passed. The board said it will formally announce the chosen candidate at the next Selectboard meeting on April 28, 2026.
The executive session was held pursuant to 1 V.S.A. § 313(a)(3), the statute cited in the meeting minutes as the legal basis for a personnel executive session. The board’s public record notes that unsuccessful candidates will be notified by phone and that the formal announcement will occur at the April 28 meeting.
No vote tally by name was recorded in the minutes beyond the board’s statement that the decision was unanimous. The minutes do not identify the hired candidate, and personnel details that were discussed in the executive session appear in the minutes only as the board’s announced outcome and the subsequent motion to notify applicants.
