Durham’s first town manager, Kathy Tombarelli, started work Monday after being appointed by the select board in April.
“Over the last several years, as the town has grown, there are quite frankly a lot more full-time employees than the town had maybe 10 years ago,” Nadeau said this week, noting a new public works department, full-time fire chief, part-time planner, full-time code enforcement officer and a full office staff. “Especially from a human resources perspective, it was important to have somebody that was overseeing the entire organization of a full-time basis.”
