Two More To Quit Positions In Land Use Office

Conservation official Chris Majewski and town land-use clerk Kathy Reymers

this week submitted notices that they are quitting their posts.

Mr Majewski started work last May. He replaced David Thompson, who resigned as

conservation official last March.

After Rita Macmillan left town employment as the Planning and Zoning

Commission's (P&Z) administrative aide last March, the town hired Ms Reymers.

Land-use secretary Janet Burns then was promoted to the P&Z administrative

aide post, and Ms Reymers assumed Ms Burns' former post of land-use clerk.

Neither Mr Thompson nor Mrs Macmillan explained the reasons for their

departures.

Town Engineer Ronald Bolmer, who is the land-use department head, complimented

Mr Majewski on his abilities, terming him "very, very thorough, very, very

good."

Mr Majewski helped the Conservation Commission quite a bit, Mr Bolmer said.

"I was personally pleased with both their performances," Mr Bolmer said. "She

[Kathy] was excellent," Mr Bolmer said.

"It's a shame. I wish things worked out," Mr Bolmer said.

Ms Reymers said she has just accepted a post with General Electric, hoping it

will open up new opportunities for her.

Mr Majewski, who came to Newtown after leaving a position at the state

Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), said he had intended to stay

longer.

"It hasn't worked out that way," he said.

Are the simultaneous resignations just a coincidence, or is there more to the

story?

"I would think it reflects something," said Mr Majewski, who declined to

comment further. He said he plans to do some traveling and then pursue new

employment opportunities.

Ms Reymers' last day of work is February 13. Mr Majewski departs February 20.
