VERNON â The Town Council voted unanimously last week to extend Town Administrator and Emergency and Risk Management Director Michael Purcaroâs contract for four years.
The contract allows for an annual pay raise of zero to 3% based on performance reviews that will be completed by Mayor Daniel Champagne. It does not include any cost of living increase or bonus to Purcaroâs salary, which currently is $139,609.
âWhen we hired Mike three years ago we expected him to bring to town government the efficiencies and vision he put in place as the school systemâs finance director,â Vernon Mayor Dan Champagne said. âHe has done that, and has not let up. Mike continues to search for new and better ways to serve our residents, and continues to set high standards for himself, our department heads and all town employees.â

HOPKINTON âMembers of the Town Council had a lengthy discussion at a Dec. 14 workshop of a proposal to amend the townâs zoning ordinance as it pertains to applications for solar energy projects.
The changes, first discussed at the Dec. 7 council meeting, were deemed sufficiently complicated as to require at least one workshop to allow councilors and members of the public to ask questions.
The proposal was submitted by attorney Peter Skwirz on behalf of his clients, Tom and Cynthia Sculco, owners of a property that abuts the sites of two proposed solar energy facilities.
âThey are in the abutter radius of a couple of projects, some of the larger projects in town,â Skwirz said. âI wonât mention them by name because this ordinance is not aimed at those projects specifically, but thatâs how they became involved â concerned citizens.â
