The Town Manager submitted his resignation letter effective the end of March 2019, which prompted the Town Council to commence a Town Manager Selection Process, consistent with the Town Charter.

After months of deliberations, review of applications, and interviews, the Town Manager Selection Committee delivered a short list of five (5) candidates to the Town Council. On December 4, 2018, the Town Council nominated Edward Piedermann, with direction to the Town Attorney to negotiate an agreement.

Mr. Piedermann and the Town have agreed on a start date of February 4, 2019. This presents a dilemma, since two managers cannot be employed by the Town at the same. time. Mr Alex Rey has agreed to resign as Town Manager, effective January 31, 2019. By doing so, Mr. Alex Rey has agreed to waive his right to a severance package currently stipulated in his current agreement. In exchange, the Town and Mr. Alex Rey have agreed that Mr. Alex Rey will continue to serve the Town as a consultant until March 31, 2019.
