The Select board will interview two candidates for Budget and Finance Director at tonight's meeting. Mr. Anthony Sulmonte of Abington was interviewed last Tuesday. He had a schedule conflict tonight, so he was interviewed earlier. John Clark, the Billerica Treasurer/Collector and Greg Barnes, the Townsend Town Administrator, will be interviewed tonight.
I do not know how the other members of the Select Board feel ...
... about the timing of the selection. I would like to make the appointment tonight.
The budget season is upon us and there are many issues that need to be addressed. While I am confident that Mr. Cressman and the staff at the Budget and Finance office can handle the task, it would be a great help to have a new Budget and Finance Director to sort through the details of a very challenging budget year for FY2011.
Will resumes be available for these men? Town administrator, treasurer/collector and accountant. Any finance director experience? Paying $$$ for another town accountant.
ReplyDeleteBarnes is giving an excellent interview. He understands that our municipal fiscal woes are structural not cyclical. Translation: He's not in LaLa Land.
ReplyDeleteBarnes said he wanted to advance his skills. Help Dartmouth or himself?
ReplyDeleteAre all these candidates being search through a private firm? Library and Finance guy?
ReplyDeleteWho makes the desicion to hire or made the suggestion to hire these firms
Finance selection made by a committee appointment by the Board of S.
ReplyDeleteI believe that appointed group also worked in conjunction with a hired group for Cressman....right?
ReplyDeleteNo. Different group. Both cases committee send 3 names to the SB to decide.
