Special Town Meeting on Shared Town Administrator Salary Range

The Washington Select Board will hold a Special Town Meeting on Monday, March 20, at 7:00 p.m. in the Washington Town Hall to seek additional support for hiring a shared Town Administrator with the Town of Middlefield.

In our efforts to find a qualified candidate, the Select Boards of Washington and Middlefield seek to re-advertise the position with an increased annual salary offer of up to eighty thousand dollars and a three-year contract.

Although a vote is not required by law or regulation, both Boards believe it is important to keep town residents informed and engaged in the process and to make sure there is full support for the proposed changes.

There will also be housekeeping articles to pay a few previous fiscal year invoices from Free Cash. The full meeting warrant is available at www.washington-ma.gov/town-meetings.

After the official meeting, the Select Board will make themselves available to answer general questions from residents for any remaining time until 9:00 p.m.
