LAKEVILLE After interviewing three finalists for the vacant town administrator’s job Monday night, selectmen voted unanimously to conditionally offer the position to Ari Sky, the current chief financial officer (CFO) of the City of New Bedford.
Chairman of Selectmen Richard LaCamera was delegated the task of negotiating a contract with Sky, while the board’s search consultants, Municipal Resources Inc., conducts the traditional background checks and reports back on its findings.
The action comes six months after former administrator Maureen Candito left the post by mutual agreement with selectmen after 15 months on the job. Selectmen decided not to hire an interim administrator while they initiated the search for a new hire this winter.
DIGHTON A former Lakeville town administrator, Raynham s treasurer/collector and the director of the Norfolk County Commissioners Office are the three finalists for the position of Dighton town administrator.
The three candidates, Maureen Candito, Michael King and Michael Mullen, were chosen by the town s consulting firm, Community Paradigm Associates, after a quick but detailed search that followed the Dec. 4 application deadline.
Twenty-nine applicants were whittled down to nine then six then three through a series of interviews by the consultant and a panel of former managers.
The selectmen will get their turn to interview the trio on Jan. 19 and 21 so the town can make its final choice.
