WESTMINSTER, Vt. — At its Wednesday meeting in town hall, the town selectboard unanimously accepted the resignation of its treasurer, Jackie Atwood, effective Sept. 30. Atwood was not present, and the reason for the resignation was not stated.

The selectboard decided it was legal to handle treasury matters internally within the town office for the moment, but that the state requires the position be filled “with haste.” The treasurer’s position will be advertised in multiple local newspapers.

The town is already trying to fill two open positions on the planning commission.

In other matters, the selectboard chose eBusiness Technology LLC to redevelop the town’s website at a cost of $6,000. The company will also host the site for a quarterly fee of $395, taking over the hosting from current vendor GoDaddy, a domain name registrar that also offers hosting and design services.
