Andrews Misses Out on Maynard Job

Mark Andrews won’t be headed to Maynard.

The Wenham town administrator was one of four finalists for the town administrator job in the MetroWest town. He interviewed with the Maynard Board of Selectmen on Monday night.

Other finalists interviewed on Monday and Wednesday night and the board then heard public comment on Thursday night before going into executive session to negotiate with the top choice.

The Maynard Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to hire its interim town administrator Kevin Sweet, according to Maynard Board of Selectmen Chairman Brendon Chetwynd. Before becoming the interim administrator in Maynard, he was the town’s assistant town administrator.

Andrews said he had no comment following the Maynard Board of Selectmen's vote.

Andrews arrived in Wenham in March 2012 to take the job after Jeff Chelgren left the position after a decade to become the town administrator in Marblehead. He served as town administrator for three years before he was hired in Wenham.

At first he was hired as the interim town administrator and in May “interim” was dropped from his title as he was given a new contract. He makes $100,000 a year.
