The board on Thursday decided to invite five candidates for interviews out of the 10 who had applied for the position.
"We will be in touch with the applicants and hopefully have them come in for next Wednesday night's meeting," said Chairman Ronald Boucher.
The board is seeking to the fill post after the resignation last month of Ericka M. Oleson, who had accepted a full-time position with the town of Stockbridge.
Officials are hoping to get someone in place as soon as possible. This would be the second member of its financial team it's had to replace in short order: new Town Accountant Angela Garrity has just started.
