Council appoints Lauren Aslan as interim town manager and names her acting town clerk and registrar
Summary
Council designated Lauren Aslan as interim town manager, acting town clerk and registrar of voters; the council also approved an interim town manager contract effective June 2, 2026.
The Gray Town Council voted to formalize a set of personnel actions that designate Lauren Aslan as interim town manager and to name her acting town clerk and registrar of voters while the town fills the town‑clerk vacancy.
The council approved an interim town manager contract for Aslan effective 06/02/2026 and authorized the council chair to execute the agreement. Councilors said staff capacity (deputy and assistant clerks) will support election and clerk duties during the transition; a resident raised concerns about workload ahead of the November election and staff confirmed deputy and assistant clerks are in place.
The council also adopted an order clarifying temporary acting‑manager succession in the manager's absence and that the finance director would serve as acting town manager if the town manager were removed; members asked for a legal review and noted they intend to revisit the standing order for clarity in future agenda work.
