Starting, Tuesday, Sept. 3 Killington will welcome Tom Yennerell as its new interim town manager. The Select Board approved the contract at its regular meeting Monday, Aug. 26.

“Tom will be hired on as an interim town manager, with full powers of a town manager,” said Select Board member Jim Haff. “It’s an 8-month contract and he’ll run the day-to-day business of the town and be the lead for the hiring process of a new town manager.”

The contract has a clause to extend the time period week-to-week after the eight months until a town manager is found. The contract is scheduled to end the day before a new town manager is hired, Haff explained.

Yennerell was referred to the town by the Vermont League of Cities and Towns (VCLT).

“The town contacted Ted Brady at VLCT after Ramsey put in his resignation,” Haff explained. “We asked for a recent list of available interim town managers, which is a service provided by VLTC. We were given multiple options. Tom fit the profile for where the town wants to go while also living the closest out of the group,” Haff noted.

Yennerell lives in Springfield and is the founder and municipal management consultant for Municipal Management Services Inc., a consulting service. Tom Yennerell has spent over 25 years in municipal management. He has been the manager or interim manager for six municipalities in three states.

Yennerell was the Springfield town manager for over five years and a municipal administrator for Henniker, New Hampshire, West Rutland, and Marcos, Colorado, as well as interim town manager for Thetford and Woodstock.
