After executive session, the Williamstown Selectboard voted to offer the town manager position to Ryan Lockwood pending a background check. The decision followed a months-long recruitment and will be finalized after required vetting.

The Williamstown Selectboard voted in executive session Monday night to offer the town manager position to Ryan Lockwood pending a background check.

Cote Griggs moved to make the offer and Scott McCarthy seconded; the motion carried. The board had earlier reported there were two remaining prospects in the recruitment process and intended to complete vetting and follow-up before any public announcement of a hire. Chair Larry Hebert had told the meeting the town would continue with background checks and additional formalities before finalizing employment.

The board discussed the personnel matter under 1 V.S.A. § 313 during a closed session. No salary or start date was recorded in the public minutes; the motion recorded in the meeting minutes specifies the offer is contingent on a satisfactory background check.
