A candidate for Town Administrator told the Town Administrator Selection Committee on July 31 at Town Hall that preserving the town's "low density rural character" would be a priority and that they supported the Selectboard's implementation of policy.
The candidate said maintaining core services during tight budgets was essential, noting a focus on continuity: "Ensuring a high level of service if at all possible even in difficult budget, priority to make sure services that are working continue," the candidate said. The candidate also asked the committee how the town reached the austerity measures in this year's budget, prompting discussion but no formal vote recorded during the session.
