Lincoln has fired its town manager after just two months on the job.
The Town Council, which unanimously approved his appointment in March, voted 4-3 during a special meeting Monday night to break its contract with Dennis Bullen.
Bullen had spent 10 years working for Lincoln, acting as director of both the public works department and the transfer station, as well as serving as a supervisor within the Cemetery, Parks, and Recreation Department.
Before coming to Lincoln, Bullen owned and operated a concrete, masonry and demolition company in Maryland.
Bullen told the Bangor Daily News after his appointment that his goal was to attract more people and businesses to the former milltown.
His contract was supposed to run for two years.
Bullen had served as interim town manager after the resignation of his predecessor, Richard Bronson. He was appointed to that post on a seemingly permanent basis after newly hired Andrew Frodahl backed out of the job just days before he was due to start.
In a social media post announcing Monday’s vote, the town thanked Bullen for his service to Lincoln.
No interim town manager has yet been appointed.
