Truro Needs a New Town Manager | Select Board must notify on non-renewal by 6/30

This petition asks the Truro Select Board to notify the Town Manager by June 30, 2023 of their decision not to renew his contract after 2023 and to begin the search for a new Town Manager better suited to Truro. My signature indicates I join with many others who support this position.

Why this matters:

Truro is at a critical crossroads. We either become increasingly suburbanized in 5-10 years or we remain rural. We either become more centrally controlled and diminished in our community decisions or we return to real participatory democracy in Truro. The future of Truro as a rural community is truly at stake. The aggressive, over-bearing and expensive push towards a suburbanized Truro in look and in governance is driven in large measure by the Town Manager, who does what he wants, not what the majority of the community wants. He acts in ways that are not aligned with Truro’s community values, culture or vision.

The Town Manager’s contract is up at the end of 2023 but the Select Board is required to give non-renewal notice by June 30, 2023. We need four Select Board members to agree to take action not to renew or the TM’s contract auto-renews if he is not given formal notification of non-renewal by June 30.

We have only a few weeks to persuade the Select Board not to renew the Town Manager’s contract. Please sign this petition in the box on the top right to show widespread support. Thank you.
