At the October 16 Town Council meeting, the council voted to have Town Manager Patrick Fox move forward with a contract agreement with Cumberland County for a shared Assessor.  However, since the October meeting, Fox was informed by the County that the capacity to share an assessor between other towns was no longer an option.  As a result, the council voted unanimously in favor of Fox's recommendation to form a hiring committee of up to 2 staff members to assist the Town Council in the search for a new Town Assessor.  In addition, the council appointed Councilor Stephanie Anderson to the hiring committee.  The full council will interview the final two candidates in Executive Session following recommendations from the hiring committee.

Pursuant to the Council-Manager Charter, the Town Council appoints the Town Assessor.
