According to Eaton Peabody’s timeline, a search for a new county administrator may consume the summer with someone coming on board after Labor Day.
Top city and town posts can be left without permanent replacements for months. Officials are increasingly having to decide whether they want to hire people without extensive experience or wait months to find the right candidate. The problem may magnify in coming years as many in the current crop of town and city managers are nearing retirement age.
Selectmen will interview three candidates for the town manager position Tuesday and Wednesday.
Susan Robertson, 62, has served as the city's acting manager since September, after longtime City Manager William Bridgeo retired.
Scott Ferguson, a finance director for the Maine state government, is to begin his new job Nov. 1, following the retirement later this month of Robert Devlin, Kennebec County's first county administrator for almost two decades.
