Selectboard, consultant set town‑manager application cutoff and agree on salary range
Summary
Consultant Pracademic Partners recommended outreach refinements and reported fiscal stewardship as the top concern in the town‑manager needs assessment; the board agreed on a $90,000–$105,000 gross salary range and a timeline that would close applications Oct. 15.
Gary Evans of hiring firm Pracademic Partners briefed the Selectboard on the town‑manager search process and findings from a needs‑assessment survey. Evans said the survey responses emphasized fiscal stewardship and careful management. "Fiscal stewardship and responsibility appears to be the number one concern," he told the board, and he described outreach strategies to increase participation in the survey.
The board spent time discussing qualifications, outreach and schedule. Mr. Evans proposed an application cutoff of Oct. 15, first‑round interviews around Nov. 15 and a tentative start date near Jan. 1. The board discussed salary proposals ranging from $70,000 to $125,000 and agreed on a gross salary range of $90,000 to $105,000 (exclusive of benefits). The board also agreed there was no budget to reimburse applicant travel expenses. Members suggested targeted outreach (social media, Transfer Station, paper copies for seniors) to increase community input ahead of the deadline.
