WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — Hartford officials are planning a special election to fill two Selectboard seats left open after board members Julia Dalphin and Rachel Edens stepped down this month.
They are the fourth and fifth members to resign from the seven-member board in less than a year.
In her resignation letter submitted Thursday, Dalphin said she had accepted a new job as a chief quality officer for a home health agency in Barre, Vt., in February, shortly before she was elected to the board in Town Meeting voting. She wrote that she’d hoped to juggle work and board duties but said her busy schedule has forced her to miss three Selectboard meetings already.
