RUMFORD – Rumford and Mexico selectmen will meet April 30 to begin talks about whether Mexico Town Manager John Madigan may serve part-time in Rumford.

Mexico board Chairwoman Barbara Laramee said Friday afternoon that her board is willing to listen.

“Everything is open,” she said.

The meeting was prompted by Rumford Town Manager Jim Doar’s announcement that he will not seek an extension of his contract once it expires in June.

Madigan was Rumford’s manager in the 1990s. He has been manager for Mexico for several years, and part of that time served Dixfield also.

Rumford board Chairman Greg Buccina said at Thursday’s selectmen’s meeting sharing Mexico’s manager is one of the options the town has once Doar leaves.

Doar has agreed to stay on for a time to assist in a transition, if necessary.

Also at Thursday’s meeting, Selectman Brad Adley said the board agreed to ask voters to approve the sale of five town properties. They are a parcel and former school building in Rumford Point, a portion of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education park on Falmouth Street, 54 acres on Franklin Annex, 133 acres behind St. John’s Cemetery, and a parcel on Prospect Avenue. They will also decide whether to grant an easement over town property at the end of High Street.

Adley believes each sale request will be listed separately on the referendum ballot for the June 10 election.
