On August 14, 2023 the Town Council voted unanimously to affirm Town Manager Matthew Sturgis' recommendation to hire Kristie D. Bradbury as the Town's new Finance Director.  Bradbury has a foundational background in audit with RHR Smith, served 9 years as deputy finance director with the City of South Portland, one with the Town of Scarborough, one with the City of Biddeford, and has expertise in the Town's new financing software.

The search for a replacement began after the former Finance Director John Quartararo announced that he would retire in September.
As noted in the Town Manger's Monthly Report, Quartoraro, passed away on August 1 from cancer.  Quartararo joined Town staff in 2020 as the Town's first Finance Director and was credited for his positive impact on town finances and charismatic presence.  

Bradbury will assume her new position on August 28.
