Hanover Town Meeting includes petition to eliminate town manager >Modified: 7/9/2021 9:39:56 PM
HANOVER Voters will decide on Tuesday whether to maintain Hanover’s town manager form of government or instead delegate more responsibilities to its five-member Selectboard.
A petitioned warrant article on this year’s Town Meeting ballot asks residents if they support “the continuation of the town manager plan as now in force in this town?”
A “yes” vote would continue the work of Town Manager Julia Griffin, who was hired in 1996, while a “no” vote would redistribute some of her responsibilities to elected officials.
In New Hampshire, town managers have hiring and firing power, can pay the town’s bills and set salaries. Hanover, which has a population of about 11,500, switched to the model in the 1970s as the town and Dartmouth College grew.
Divide between students, town will come under focus at July 13 Hanover Town Meeting
