Town administrator, strong-mayor issue still unknown

Mayor Bill Collins remained mum Monday after an executive session, which discussed the vacant town administrator position, during the special meeting of council at town hall.

On Sunday, Collins said he was looking to create a "strong-mayor" administration, where the vacant town administrator position would be assumed under his watch. The mayor position would become a full-time one.

Monday marked Collins' first meeting as mayor of the council.

Coming back out after an hour-and-a-half in executive session, Collins reported that no action was taken.

"We just had a thorough discussion," Collins said.

If the town council does vote on a strong-mayor leadership, then the issue would be taken to voters in a referendum.
