NEW VINEYARD — Select Board members will hire a new code enforcement officer after selectmen Monday approved the resignation of Charles Hinds.

Selectman Jeffrey Allen said he will reach out to someone who previously was interested in the position.

Transfer Station attendant James Courtney submitted his resignation, but Town Clerk Michelle Beedy said another employee is picking up the shift.

Selectmen also discussed progress on updating town maps. Beedy said the process is two-thirds complete, adding that it’s time-consuming finding and checking deeds.
