Manager keeps job in S. Berwick
SOUTH BERWICK After a 35 minute executive session the Town Council reappointed Rudolph Naples as town manager by a 4 to 0 vote. Newly elected Richard Hersom was excused from voting. The term was not defined and discussion suggested by councilman Brackett. An earlier motion set April 1 1977 to March 31 1978 as the term but no second followed. Naples questioned the lack of second and the attorney warned he might resign if reappointment lacked a formal vote. A letter of 459 signatures urged nonreappointment while some called it a confidence vote. The council said the letter would be ignored as no formal action was taken.
