Williamstown Selectboard holds emergency executive session after town manager's arrest; resignation offer reported
Summary
On Nov. 5, 2025 the Williamstown Selectboard met in an emergency executive session to discuss the town manager's arrest earlier that day. Minutes state the manager offered a resignation effective Dec. 19 and the board agreed to keep her available remotely for transition; no vote was taken.
The Williamstown Selectboard convened an emergency executive session on Nov. 5, 2025, beginning at 7:00 p.m., to address the arrest of the town manager earlier in the day. The minutes, recorded as an executive session under 1 V.S.A. § 313, say the discussion focused on the best path forward for the town amid other ongoing issues, which the minutes reference as FEMA-related.
The minutes state that the manager was contacted by phone during the meeting and that "the offer was made to have her give a letter of resignation effective December 19th and be made available to help with the transition process to a new manager." The record does not attribute that exact phrasing to a single board member; it appears in the meeting minutes as the outcome of the session. The meeting notes that no formal vote or further action was taken before adjournment at 8:30 p.m.
The meeting listed Clayton Woodworth, Scott McCarthy, Tyler Mitchel, and Larry Hebert as present. The minutes assign responsibility for day-to-day continuity to Selectboard member Larry Hebert, who the record says "would work with the town staff to keep operations functioning until a replacement manager can be obtained."
