Board votes 4–1 against summer intern; renews Millenium Strategies contract for $5,000

May 27, 2025

After debating two internship options, Springfield supervisors voted 4–1 not to employ an intern for Summer 2025 (Ms. Yearwood opposed). The board unanimously extended Millenium Strategies' consulting contract for one year at $5,000.

The Board considered two internship options: participation in a BCATO program requiring a $2,500 township contribution, and a direct paid internship for a returning candidate (Sydney) supported by a $3,000 university grant. Directors raised concerns about timeline, workspace during construction and prior internship supervision.
