Shaftesbury town administrator Paula gives 60 days' notice, departing Sept. 25
Summary
Town Administrator Paula announced she is resigning and gave the select board 60 days' notice; the board praised her service and said she will assist with transition and training for a replacement.
Paula, the town administrator, told the Shaftesbury Select Board on Aug. 6 that she is stepping down and gave 60 days' notice. "My last day will be Friday, September 25," she said, adding she would help train a successor as time allows.
Board members thanked Paula for stabilizing town operations and modernizing services. A fellow board member said she "pulled together the bits and pieces" after turnover, opening doors at town hall and advocating for staff pay and health improvements. The board indicated they will begin the process of recruiting and training a new administrator and may schedule a special interview for an internal candidate in the coming weeks.
Paula said her contract would have extended to May 1, 2027, but changes in her personal situation have led to an earlier departure. She apologized for any short-term disruption and emphasized her commitment to a smooth transition. The board accepted her notice and expressed gratitude for her service.
