Details
The town's government is a five-member Board of Selectmen with an appointed Town Manager.
Only agendas were read; no votes, finalists or contract terms are recorded here, and no candidate is named.
Special meeting: the board interviewed the three finalists, chose a primary and an alternate candidate, and named the chair and vice chair as the negotiating committee.
After an executive session on the contract, the board approved the incoming town manager's contract by unanimous voice vote; the new manager starts Nov. 16.
