Last week, interim Town Administrator Mark Webber rolled out his timeline for hiring a new permanent administrator and said the first step is to post the job and form a screening committee.
Webber, who emerged from retirement to cover the post after the departure of Edmund St. John IV in December, said he would like the Selectmen to firm up the job description at its next meeting and determine whether the job will be full time.
Once advertised the position, the Selectmen should appoint a screening committee that would review incoming applications, he said.
Webber suggested that the committee consisting of himself, a Finance Committee member, and three residents be put into place. He said although department heads and elected officials will surely be consulted, he preferred to keep the screening committee as independent as possible.
