HUDSON — The town’s next executive assistant may not be required to live in Hudson.
The town charter requires the executive assistant to establish residence in Hudson within nine months of being appointed, but selectmen on Monday requested Town Counsel Aldo Cipriano begin the process of drafting an article for Town Meeting to eliminate the residency requirement from the charter. Any change to the charter must be approved by Town Meeting.
Hudson is searching for a new executive assistant. Thomas Moses, who has held the position for the past seven years, will retire in May. Board members said removing the residency requirement will help the town garner a better pool of applicants.
