KELLEHER will resign as of August 31st. The Town Clerk's office has officially received a letter of resignation from Selectman, Peter Kelleher. His resignation will become effective on August 31, 2005. The remaining members of the Select Board, Emile Mazur and Rita Pierce, have been officially notified by this office, in writing, that a vacancy will occur on the board on that date, giving them the option to call a special election or make other plans. If a special election is to be called, and that is the current opinion, it will have to take place between September 1, 2005 and January 28, 2006 to adhere to the requirements of the Massachusetts General Laws. The earliest date an election can be held in Savoy is November 8, 2005. As you can see, there is very little time to pull this all together because of the legal considerations the town must follow. Anyone who would like to fill this vacancy should contact the Select Board or the Town Clerk as soon as possible. Candidates must be registered voters of the town and must take out nomination papers in order to be on the ballot. from...TOWN CLERK'S OFFICE
