Council to weigh Interim Town Manager appointment, evaluate sitting Town Manager in closed session

The Town Council convenes in a special closed session Thursday to take up a cluster of personnel matters concerning the town's top administrative post. Agenda items include discussion of the title of Interim Town Manager, discussion of appointment to that title, and a performance evaluation of the current Town Manager — all under the closed-session exemptions for public employment matters.

The same session includes a conference with labor negotiators \ Mayor Rosa Thomas and Town Attorney Richard D. Pio Roda are named as the town's designated representatives, and the agenda specifies the negotiations concern unrepresented employees holding the titles of Town Manager and Interim Town Manager.

Because it's closed session, no public discussion or vote will happen in view of residents, and the agenda does not indicate what prompted the review or whether any change is imminent. Any action taken typically would be reported out afterward, though the agenda gives no timeline for that.
