RANGELEY­ — Selectmen on Tuesday officially named fire Chief Tim Pellerin the interim town manager for an unspecified term.

Pellerin was named temporarily to the post when Town Manager Tiki White went on maternity leave.

At Tuesday’s meeting, Chairman Dave Burgess said the board had received a letter from White saying she did not intend to return to the position, and would instead stay home as a full-time parent.

Other appointments approved were Dale Quimby to the Airport Commission, Traci Pitt as administrative assistant and town Treasurer Rebekah Carmichael as airport manager.

Christopher Farmer has withdrawn his application to the Ordinance Committee.

In his town manager updates, Pellerin reported that Public Works and the Parks and Recreation departments have done an excellent job with plowing, shoveling and sanding, and removal of snowbanks, keeping Main Street and parking lots clear.

The Police Department reported four arrests and seven traffic violations, as well as some parking tickets.

In his role as fire chief, Pellerin said the Fire Department has recently dealt with two snowmobile accidents, a structure fire on Bald Mountain Road, live wires down on Main Street, a vehicle fire, a vehicle rollover, a chimney fire and a four­-car accident. The department provided traffic control for last week’s Cystic Fibrosis snowmobile run, he said.

The board continues to plan a day trip in early March to South China and Belfast, where the local transfer stations have the same kind of weigh station and recycling technology that the Rangeley transfer station is looking into.

The board also plans a workshop before the next regular meeting to study municipal wages and pay schedules for towns of comparable size.

Pellerin said he and Town Clerk Ethna Thompson have started work on a website for the town that would link with the Chamber of Commerce site and others. Thompson is studying Web design so updates and corrections can be performed in­-house.

Selectman Rob Welch said the board appropriated funds for a website in 2005, and he expressed frustration that nothing has been done in 10 years. He asked for an update on progress on the website at every board meeting.

“Not having a website is an embarrassment for our community,” Welch said.
