The town and Mr. Sulmonte, who was the Select Board's first choice to be the next Director of Budget and Finance, have reached an impasse in contract negotiations. The Select Board has decided not to pursue the matter further with Mr. Sulmonte.
The Select Board has also decided to offer the position to the second place candidate, Mr. Greg Barnes, who is currently the town administrator in Townsend. Mr. Barnes grew up in Westport, ...
... so he is familiar with our town. He is a graduate of Syracuse University. Discussions with Mr. Barnes are now underway and I hope can reach a conclusion soon.
