Five candidates have been selected to serve on a seven-member committee that will help find a new town manager for Middleboro.
Each select board member was asked to nominate someone to serve on the Town Manager Search Committee.
The choices were: John Barrella, Finance Committee member, selected by William Pike; Joseph Mandile, recently retired town planer, selected by Chair Teresa Farley; Randy Gagne, former Middleboro library director, selected by Brian Giovanoni; John Burbage, president of the Oak Point Homeowners Scholarship Fund, selected by Vice Chair Thomas White and Emily Surrette, management analyst for the Town of Lakeville, selected by Tracie Craig-McGee.
In addition to these five, two additional at-large members will be selected.
Nine people expressed interest in those positions. They are Louise Dery-Wells; Pamela Franey; Robert Hammett; Lauren Haugh; Nancy Kefalis; Jessica Mackinaw; Edward Medeiros; Wayne Perkins and MacDonald Sprague.
Two community members are scheduled to be selected at the Monday, May 11 Select Board meeting to complete the seven-member committee, Farley said. Two alternatives may also be selected, she said
The search committee will be tasked with recommending possible finalist candidates for the Town Manager position.
The committee will work with Municipal Resources Inc., which was selected to assist in the town manager search.
The committee is seeking a permanent replacement for Jay McGrail, who left Middleboro for Harwich earlier this year. Joseph Perkins has been serving as interim town manager.
