"There has been no public involvement in the search other than a mid-March meeting where people stressed that they wanted public involvement."
Yikes! The Bar Harbor Town Council never missing a chance to flex its authoritarian muscle. Which worked so well for their last selection process. As in other issues.
This is a small town. Certainly there could have been a public meetings for residents to meet with a few competitive candidates and certainly with the Council's choice. Before a contract was offered. And for candidates to have a better informed perspective of town concerns. Sheesh.
