Zoning Administrator Resigns

Burke's part time Zoning Administrator Mark Daigle has decided to throw in the towel.
At Monday February sevenths selectboard meeting a letter that Daigle had sent to the selectboard containing his resignation was read. Daigle said that due to the fact that the selectboard was increasing the Zoning Administrating hours to 16 hours a week he couldn't afford to commit to that much time which would take away from his business.
The selectboard was adamant about thanking Daigle for the time that he had served as the Zoning Administrator. The board appointed member Sam Sanderson as temporary Zoning Administrator until a replacement can be found.
Also present at the meeting was the Development Review Board which were advocating that position of Zoning Administrator should be a full time position. But the selectboard believe increasing the hours is enough.
"we are funded for about a half time person and we are going to try that and see how that works. I'm curious if we even need that much. That's one reason why the boys and I decided that maybe I would do it for a little while. To maybe find out how much time we really need," said Sanderson.
The board expects that the temporary position will only be for a couple of months.
