A memo in the Aug. 31 packet requested that the Board appoint Gregory Stackpole, the Stamford Assessor, as a temporary Darien Assessor for Sept. 1 through Nov. 8, 2026 to allow continued sign‑offs on reports while the town searches for a permanent assessor.
The Aug. 10 minutes included in the packet also show the Board appointed Matt Simon as an alternate member of the Zoning Board of Appeals for a term expiring June 30, 2029. The minutes record the motion to approve the appointment was made by Mike Burke, seconded by Sarah Neumann, and approved unanimously.
The assessor memo cites Town Charter requirements for appointment of an assessor and notes the Town’s deputy assessor previously served a temporary appointment through Aug. 31; the temporary appointment of Stackpole would permit required filings and sign‑offs while the Town completes the search for a full‑time assessor.
