This time it is official.

For the second time, Alan Mannell, Pelham’s director of Public Works, attended his last town council meeting Monday.

He was to retire at the beginning of February but remained in his post for another month while the town completed a search for a replacement.

On Monday, councillors took turns praising and thanking Mannell, who worked for the town since 1987.

“You have left a legacy in the town,” said Mayor Dave Augustyn. “We appreciate your years of service.”

Councillors commented on his dry sense of humour, his detailed knowledge of the town’s roads, pipes and parks, and his cool, calm and collected approach to his job.
