CHESHIRE, Mass. — The Selectmen will interview the three candidates for the post of town administrator on Thursday evening.
 
The finalists are Kathleen Degnan, a practicing attorney and former Pittsfield city solicitor; Alicia Fonash-Willett, assistant town clerk and information technology coordinator for the town of Durham, Conn.; and Jennifer Morse, Ashfield town administrator and a Rowe town official.
 
Degnan will be interviewed at 6:30 p.m., Fonash-Willett at 7:20, and Morse at 8:10.
 
The board is seeking a replacement for Town Administrator Edmund St. John IV, who left the position late last year. A search committee was formed to find a new administrator while the town's former administrator, Mark Webber, filled in in the interim.
 
The Selectmen have budgeted to increase the position from part time to full time in the fiscal 2022 budget to be presented at town meeting.
 
The agenda does not state if a decision will be made Thursday night.
