An annoucement has been placed in the Smart Shopper, MMA  website and Town's website.  Paul Froman commented that he does not feel there will be much response to this annoucement.  The SB is hopeful that there will be a good response. Per the Town's Ordinance, a hiring committee made up of 2 members of the Hollis FD and 2 members of the community will review resumes received, conduct interviews and make recommendations to the SB.  SB will then make the final decision.
