The select board met in executive session Wednesday night to negotiate an employment contract with incoming Town Manager Jennifer Constable.

Constable recently was chosen by the select board from among three finalists to replace the retiring Philip Lemnios. She recently resigned from her job as Rockland’s assistant town administrator after four years in that role.

Constable’s service to the Town of Hull over the past 20 years includes terms on the affordable housing committee, planning board, and seven years on the select board. She holds a master’s degree in public administration.

At its June 28 meeting, the board appointed Police Chief John Dunn acting town manager and approved a proposal by Lemnios to provide interim consulting services from June 30 until Constable begins her duties.

The board did not return to open session following the executive session Wednesday.
