Michelle Monsengier introduced herself as the new deputy town administrator and said she started last Monday. She told the Finance Committee she has about 11 years of municipal finance experience and is looking forward to working with the joint budget subcommittee, the finance team and committee members as she gets up to speed.
"I'm the new deputy town administrator. I'm really looking forward to working with you all. Today is day 8. I started last Monday," Monsengier said, describing her background in municipal finance and interest in the budget process. Committee members welcomed her and thanked the outgoing staff for prior leadership. Monsengier noted she will attend budget hearings and joint subcommittee meetings but will limit attendance at some development‑related boards to preserve work‑life balance.
Her arrival was presented as part of a staff reorganization intended to spread workload and provide a fresh perspective during an active budget season.
