Longmeadow Select Board formally calls for resignation of Hampden County retirement board, asks for state takeover Updated Mar 16, 2021; LONGMEADOW — The Select Board has adopted a resolution of “no confidence” in the Hampden County Regional Board of Retirement that calls for immediate resignations — and they’re asking other member communities to do the same. The March 9 resolution calls for the resignations of Executive Director Julianne Bartley, the four board members and Chairman and Treasurer Richard M. Theroux, and asks for a state oversight commission to take over management of the system until they can be replaced. The Select Board’s resolution also asks representatives of other communities and organizations with retirement funds invested and managed through the Hampden County Regional Retirement System to rally around their cause. The members asked their colleagues to “join us in this call for the resignation of the Board, Chair, and Executive Director of that agency and ask that our state legislators take the actions needed to remove these individuals from these positions should they not resign before April 15, 2021.”
