Clarksburg Offers Town Administrator Post to Boucher

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The Select Board on Monday voted to offer the position of town administrator to Ronald Boucher, pending contract negotiations. 
 
"I think Ron's the best option, the safest option to move forward," said board member Colton Andrews.
 
Boucher is a former Select Board chair, town moderator and Finance Committee member and current member of the Planning Board. He's currently a regional sales manager for global EcoLab. He was notified during the meeting and agreed to meet with the board on his contract Friday morning. 
 
Should he accept the post, he will replace Carl McKinney; the board declined to renew his contract and his final day is Friday. 
 
Boucher was one of three candidates interviewed for the post; the others were Bryana Malloy, manager of industry relations manager for MassHire, and Kenneth Ward, Williamstown's information technology director. 
 
The board members agreed that Malloy, who unsuccessfully ran for the Select Board in June, and Boucher were their preferred candidates. 
 
Chair Robert Norcross gave a strong case for Malloy, citing her experience in applying for and administering grants.
