Gardner Appointments Committee Meeting Nov 10 2026

The City of Gardner Appointments Committee met on November 10, 2026. The committee considered mayoral appointment measures, including Fire Chief Lagoy, Senior Center Director Michael Ellis, and alternate building commissioner Jeffrey Cook. Because the appointees were absent, the committee agreed to give each item more time; a youth commission appointment was also continued. No appointment confirmations or procurement decisions were made. The committee approved a motion to adjourn.

The mayor reported resignations from the Conservation Commission and Rockwell trustees, and vacancies in the golf commission administrative assistant and transfer station supervisor positions. The latter two positions are funded through enterprise accounts; the transfer station supervisor position was reduced from 37 to 30 hours weekly following creation of a safety monitor position. The mayor also reported budget-related layoff notices for six city positions, effective December 31. No contracts, bids, vendor selections, or other procurement activity were identified.
