Sanbornton selectmen appoint new town clerk, assistant

SANBORNTON — The Sanbornton Board of Selectmen has named Juliana Lonergan to serve out the year as town clerk-tax collector until next March, when voters will elect someone to fill out the remainder of the unexpired term of Courtney Plamondon.

Plamondon was elected to the three-year position in March and resigned this month.

Selectmen interviewed three residents who applied for the temporary position before selecting Lonergan in a unanimous vote.

“I’m sure I speak for the entire board when I wish Courtney all the best," said board chairman John Olmstead.

Juliana “Julie” Lonergan is a lifelong resident of Sanbornton and has headed up the town’s recreation department for the last 19 years.

Selectman Tom Salatiello said, “The town clerk-tax collector’s office, under Julie’s direction, will soon operate in a manner that puts Sanbornton residents’ needs first. Julie is a dedicated hard worker.”

Selectmen also hired Gloria Landry of Windsor to the newly created position of assistant town clerk-tax collector.

Selectmen say the deputy position will remain vacant for the foreseeable future.

Landry, currently serving as town clerk in Windsor, will bring all of the state Department of Motor Vehicles certifications she has earned to the position. She will begin her new duties in early September.
