PARIS — According to Town Manager Phil Tarr, the Board of Selectmen on Sept. 10 may consider an agreement that would terminate his employment with the town.

In late June, selectmen voted not to renew Tarr’s contract, which expires Dec. 31.

During a special board meeting Aug. 29, selectmen initialed a document that Tarr said lays out the substance of the agreement that would nullify his contract.

Tarr said two members of the board met with him Aug. 25 to work out the details of the agreement and discussed the substance of it during an executive session Aug. 27.

“They brought it in on Tuesday (Aug. 28) for me to initial,” Tarr said.

Selectmen initialed two copies of the document following an executive session Aug. 29.

According to Tarr, the document is currently formalized by the town’s attorney. He hopes to review and sign it this week.

Tarr couldn’t discuss the agreement’s details, but said he was “happy” with its content.

Tarr has previously stated that he found working in Paris increasingly difficult since the board decided not to renew his contract.

The board is in the process of hiring a new town manager.

According to a hiring schedule drawn up by selectmen, the deadline for applications is Sept. 10.

Selectmen hope to have a new manager ready to start in January.
