Residents urge trustees to renew town manager Becky Frank’s contract, citing $1.5M in grants
Summary
Multiple residents told trustees that not renewing Town Manager Becky Frank would hamper administration; speakers highlighted roughly $1.5 million in grants secured under her tenure and urged the board to weigh operational impacts before any personnel decision.
During public comment the board heard multiple speakers urge renewal of the town manager’s contract, stressing the administrative burden and grant successes under current management. Brandy Morales, chair of the Green Mountain Falls Planning Commission, told the board that “since 2021, Becky has successfully managed and brought approximately $1,500,000 of grant money to help our town,” and warned that non‑renewal would “effectively hamstring” town operations while a successor is found.
Anne Ish and Lisa Bonwell echoed those points, describing the manager as knowledgeable, well connected with regional partners, and essential to grant and permit work. The board did not take formal action on the contract at the meeting; trustees moved item 6c (consideration of renewal) off the public agenda so the topic will be handled in executive session at a later date per the board’s vote.
