Trent Hills council held a closed session on Tuesday morning to discuss the need to recruit a new Chief Administrative Officer.
After meeting in private for half an hour, the public session, which included current Chief Administrative Officer Lynn Phillips, adjourned.
Phillips has been a Trent Hills employee for 15 years and has been CAO for 10 ½ years. In 2024 she earned $158,468, a six per cent increase over the previous year.
The municipality offered no explanation of why it was starting a CAO search.
Councillor Daniel Giddings said he couldn’t comment on the meeting since it was closed. “It will all come out,” he added.
Maybe. Northumberland County CAO Jennifer Moore left her position in September and we know no more about her departure than we did two months ago. The county now has an acting CAO. It seems likely Trent Hills is headed in the same direction.
