Town Manager Search Committee Is Announced

Town Council President James Letterie said the Council announced Tuesday the members of the Town Manager Selection Committee.

Karin Chavis will chair the Committee. The members will include Lisa Howard (or her designee), Rob DeMarco, John Macero, Shannon Poulos, Vinny Crossman, and Peter Gill.

Letterie said the town has been working with Paradigm Consulting in the town manager selection process.

“We stopped taking applications on Jan. 28,” Letterie said. “I believe we have over two dozen candidates. Paradigm is in the process of putting information packets together for our committee. Paradigm representatives will be meeting with our selection committee the week of Feb. 7 and they will be determining which candidates will be interviewed for the position.”

Letterie said the town manager selection committee will eventually provide a list of 3-4 finalists to the Town Council.

“At that point, the process will become public, and the Council will hold public interviews with each of the finalists,” said Letterie. “I will then present a name and nomination for the Council’s approval. My goal is to have the new town manager in place by June 1.”

Police Chief Terence Delehanty has been serving as the interim town manager.
