Adams Fire District Election OKs Appointed Posts

Staff Reports
ADAMS, Mass. — After several years of trying, the voting members of the Fire District have approved making the clerk and treasurer appointed positions. 
 
The measure passed 96-69 at the Tuesday's annual election and will take effect as of July 1. 
 
There were no races on the ballot but the election will see a new fire chief with David J. Lennon winning a three-year term. John Pansecchi, who served three terms as chief, has retired. 
 
Taking Lennon's place as first assistant engineer is Edward B. Capeless; second assistant is Dylan Grimes; third assistant Timothy Ziemba; and fourth assistant David A. Lennon. 
 
Incumbent Richard Kleiner won re-election on the Prudential Committee and will be joined by Pansecchi, who will complete the final two years of Thomas Satko's unexpired term. 
 
The Prudential Committee has for years been advocating to make a number of its elected positions appointed as a way to ensure they are filled by qualified, professional candidates. 
 
But while passing several times as a warrant item, they've failed the two-step process at the ballot box.
