NORWAY — The Board of Selectmen voted unanimously Thursday evening to appoint Scott Tabb of Oxford as code enforcement officer.
Tabb has been maintenance director at the Maine Veterans’ Home in Paris for the past 21 years. He succeeds Joelle Corey-Whitman who was recently hired as code officer for Oxford.
“We had 10 applicants, and there were a couple of folks who applied who were fully certified in all areas and would have been fine people to hire,” Norway Town Manager David Holt told the board. “I picked Scott because we felt his personal characteristics fit what we were looking for in the position.”
“I understand that there’s a fair amount of training that he’ll have to do, but given his responsibilities as maintenance director at the Maine Veterans’ Home for the last 21 years, I think he can do it,” Holt said. “It’s my great pleasure to nominate him to be CEO.”
Selectman Warren Sessions Jr. asked Tabb if he minded furthering his education to become fully certified for the position.
“Not at all,” Tabb said.
Tabb told the board he is used to working with state and federal regulations.
