Bethel officials appoint new town Treasurer

The Bethel Board of Selectmen has appointed a new town Treasurer. 

 

Bethel's former Treasurer, Dan O'Grady, won election in November as Northern Fairfield County Probate Court Judge and vacated the seat.  John Kelly will now fill the role.  Kelly is an attorney by trade who has worked in the area since 1990, focusing on business law matters and tax concerns.  First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker says Kelly is well acquainted with financial issues and a fine choice to replace O'Grady. 

 

Kelly has been a volunteer in Bethel for many years, most recently serving as chairman of the Ethics Commission.

 

The Town Treasurer is responsible for the supervision of the investment and expenditure of all town funds.  According to the town Charter, the Board of Finance appointed an Acting Town Treasurer until the Board of Selectmen could make an appointment to that office. 

 

It's an elected position.  Kelly will fill the role for about 11 months.
