At the Stafford Township Council meeting of March 19, Mayor Greg Myhre addressed questions he has received about the hiring process for new Township Administrator Matthew von der Hayden, who was seated in the audience as a spectator.

Myhre explained: Consultant Paul Shives wrote an ad and posted it on the League of Municipalities website. Of 25 total applicants, Shives handed Myhre a list of qualified candidates, having communicated directly with none of them.
