Recall supporters

Organizers said that they were trying to recall Mantor because of his opposition to Town Manager Tim Curtis' decision to hire a full-time code enforcement officer and maintenance worker. One of the recall organizers, Amber Meunier, said that Mantor's opposition to the hire amounted to "putting personal feelings ahead of what’s best for the town.”

Curtis argued that creating a full-time position would improve retention, as the town had previously had three part-time code enforcement officers resign to take full-time positions.

Recall opponents

Mantor said that the code enforcement position was unnecessary and cost the town too much at $24 per hour plus benefits. He also highlighted that the candidate hired for the role was the town manager's second cousin.

Path to the ballot

Recall organizers submitted more than 200 signatures.
