Board said a new town administrator is expected to start on the 17th; staff transitions include Rebecca's planned retirement and temporary coverage arrangements for permitting and zoning duties.

Board members reported that the new town administrator will begin work on the 17th and that administrative duties will be transitioned with oversight from current staff. Rebecca, who manages permitting tasks, said she will be available through August and offered to help train a replacement; the board discussed temporary arrangements for zoning and permit reviews until the new administrator assumes duties.

Members said interviews produced several strong candidates (seven interviewed on one day) and that personnel paperwork (resumes and annual salary information) will be updated for the governor's or state records as requested. The board also noted incoming workload for budget season and asked department heads to be prepared to submit budget templates once the administrator is on site.
