Board told of hires, ongoing interviews and equipment bids for town departments
Summary
Officials told the board a part‑time animal control hire will be recommended pending background checks and ride‑alongs; the town has vacancies for two full‑time dispatchers and two police officers, and staff will recommend awarding a used skid‑steer to the lowest responsible bidder.
Steve, a town public safety official, said the department will present a resolution next week to hire a part‑time animal control officer after a completed background investigation and successful ride‑alongs. "We have a part time animal control officer candidate, that will be, brought to the board for a resolution for hire next week," Steve said, adding the candidate received positive feedback during ride‑along evaluations.
Steve also reported ongoing interviews for public safety dispatchers and police officers, noting two full‑time dispatcher vacancies and two police‑officer vacancies that the department is working to fill. Separately, Andy (town staff) said staff opened bids for a used skid‑steer and expect to recommend awarding the contract to the lowest responsible bidder before next week’s board meeting.
Officials asked staff to provide updates as candidates progress through background checks and to return with a recommendation on the equipment bid at the next regular meeting.
