The board held a quick meeting Friday in order to approve the hiring of a special town counsel, and Chairwoman Michelle Francesconi said attorney Jeff Grandchamp indicated he was willing to hold the position.
"He said he is willing to take on the role, and I have put it on the agenda for next Tuesday night," she said.
On Tuesday, the Selectmen agreed they wanted to hire someone separate from St. John to help tie up some loose ends and assist in the upcoming town administer search.
The board does plan to hire an interim town administrator but for the moment, Francesconi will handle many of the administrator duties.
