Fairfax seeks applications for town clerk and treasurer

Fairfax will appoint a town clerk and a town treasurer to fill the roles until the election in November 2026.

The Town Council voted unanimously to initiate the appointment process at its meeting on Thursday. Town leaders decided against holding a special election in November, citing an estimated cost of more than $50,000.

“If we tried to have them elected, we’d spend a chunk of change, and we’d also have to wait and then they’d have to go through the whole process of running again,” Mayor Lisel Blash said.
