Finance Committee splits on town administrator salary increase for June special meeting
Finance Committee · Meeting of May 14, 2026
Avon Finance Committee splits on town administrator salary for June special town meeting. The committee voted unanimously to recommend the town clerk position salary as written but rejected a proposed town administrator increase, instead backing a 3 percent raise that sets the first-year salary at $174,631. Committee members expressed concern about competitive salaries in neighboring towns and noted that failing to approve the contracts could cost approximately $100,000 in severance and recruitment expenses.
The committee plans to include supporting documentation and a Select Board letter explaining contract obligations in the June 2 special town meeting book.
