Cheshire Moving Forward With Special Town Counsel

The Cheshire Selectmen will appoint a special town counsel to assist in dealings going forward in regard to the town administrator position next week.

The board held a quick meeting Friday in order to approve the hiring of a special town counsel, and Chairwoman Michelle Francesconi said attorney Jeff Grandchamp indicated he was willing to hold the position.

"He said he is willing to take on the role, and I have put it on the agenda for next Tuesday night," she said.

Town Administrator Edmund St. John IV resigned last week effective immediately.

On Tuesday, the Selectmen agreed they wanted to hire someone separate from St. John to help tie up some loose ends and assist in the upcoming town administer search.

Current Town Counsel Edmund St. John III is the former town administrator's father.
