Swampscott Select Board Approves Trinity Ambulance Deal and $503K Street Contract

SWAMPSCOTT -- May 6, 2026, Swampscott Select Board approves ambulance contract, $502,900 street redesign deal, and five department head employment agreements in wide-ranging May 6 session. The board unanimously approved a one-year agreement with Trinity Ambulance, with up to two renewal options, formalizing an arrangement that had lapsed before Town Administrator Nicholas Connors joined the town; members discussed but did not secure response-time incentives in the contract. A contract with Greenman-Petersen Incorporated for a complete streets redesign of Route 113 was approved at $502,900, funded almost entirely by a $475,000 Housing Works grant, with Wayne Spritz abstaining due to a separate professional relationship with the firm. The board also approved a $39,000 IT management services renewal with Umbral Technologies and employment contracts for Finance Director Patrick Luddy, Treasurer/Collector Liam Braley, Town Clerk Katie Dupont, Director of Community and Economic Development Marzie Galazka, and Director of Public Works Gino Cresta, with Spritz again abstaining, citing his absence from earlier negotiations. Catherine Phelan was re-elected Chair unanimously and Danielle Leonard elected Vice Chair by majority vote over Mary Ellen Fletcher.
