ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020 2019—2020 ANNUAL REPORT 1 ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020 During the summer of 2018 the Town of Greenville requested donations to help in replacing the“ pirate ship” playset located at the Junction Wharf. In less than 6 months there was an overwhelming response in donations from local families, individuals and businesses. Due to this generous support the Town of Greenville was able to purchase a new “pirate ship,” “train” playset and a beautiful sign which was created by Moosehead Signs. Our plan had been to hold a Grand Opening and Thank You Bar-b-que for the Junction Wharf Play Area, but due to a few delays and now with COVID-19 guidelines we have been unable to do just that. We did however want to make sure that we said THANK YOU once again to all those that donated towards making the Junction Wharf Play Area, an enjoyable area for families. It’s wonderful to see kids young and old enjoying the area and new playsets. If you haven’t done so yet we encourage you to stop by the Junction Wharf and check out the new area. Thank You!

With him he brought 30 years experience of being the Recreation Director for the City of Bath. He brought many new recre- ation opportunities to the citizens of Greenville and helped the Town structure the department for the future. In 2008 Jack began to grow an interest in the Code Enforcement position and was appointed full-time Code Enforcement Officer. Though, Jack stepped aside from being the Recreation Director, you could always find him volunteering his time on the court or in the field, and lending sound advice to new Recreation Directors in the years that followed. During Jack’s years as Code Enforcement Officer (CEO) he was an overseer of multiple town projects and devel- opments that were taking place within the Greenville area. Jack worked closely with the Town Manager through this time, so it was only fitting and natural that he step in as Interim Town Manager, for a month in 2013, as the Town transitioned from one Town Manager to another. He did this for the Town not only in 2013 but once again in 2016 as the Town transitioned to yet another Town Manager. By Jack stepping up and taking on this important role of Interim Town Manager, it made both of these transitions smooth and effective. Jack decided in 2018 that after 43 years of serving in Municipal Government, it was time to retire and enjoy some quality time on the golf course. On April 27, 2018 we thanked him for his dedication and commitment to serving our community. In October of 2018 the Town of Greenville once again found themselves without a Town Manager. Jack decided that although he was starting to get used to retirement, his heart was still dedicated to helping and serving the Town of Greenville, so he came back as Interim Town Manager, only this time he filled the position for 9 months. During this time Jack really stepped up to the plate helping to move projects along, supporting the office staff as transitions were being made, and worked closely with the Select Board as they made their selec- tion of a new Town Manager. In July of 2019 the Town of Greenville welcomed Mike Roy as Town Manager and Jack helped him through this new endeavor for a few months. Jack was once again able to slip back into retirement, but not for long…in November of 2019 the Town of Greenville found themselves without a Code Enforcement Officer. Jack once again paused his retirement and filled in as CEO on a part-time basis, working closely with the Select Board as they made their selection for a new CEO. Finally, in April of 2020 Jack went back into full retirement, but it is comforting to know that he is just a phone call away for help and advice. Jack, because of your dedication and service to the Town of Greenville we would like to dedicate the 2019/2020 Town Report to you. Thank you again for all the you have done and continue to do to help make Greenville a better place to live, work, and play.
