ADAMS, Mass. — The town will have a new administrator onboard almost exactly one year after after Jay Green departed for Lenox. 

 

The Board of Selectmen last Wednesday unanimously approved a three-year contract with Nicholas Caccamo, effective Jan. 20, 2026. His base salary will be $130,000. 

 

The Williamsburg town administrator was offered the post in Adams on Oct. 29. He was one of three finalists for the job who were interviewed; the others were MassAbility placement specialist and Pittsfield City Council President Peter White and Easthampton Associate Planner Dillon Maxfield.

 

Caccamo has been with Williamsburg for four years and had served three terms on the Pittsfield City Council. A former teacher, he also holds a master of science in public policy and administration and in regional planning.

 

The town has had two interim administrators since Jan. 15. Kenneth Walto, a retired Dalton town manager, filled the post part time until August; Library Director Holli Jayko has since taken up the task until January. 

 

Caccamo replaced Green, who was town administrator for six years before being named as town manager in Lenox. 

 

The board also unanimously approved a three-month contract with acting Police Chief Timothy Sorrell, with a bi-weekly salary of approximately $4,000.

 

Jayko, who provided the update on contracts, said Sorrell's will remain in effect until a successor agreement is negotiated.

 

Sorrell, retired Lanesborough police chief who has been working as a special officer for four years in Adams, was appointed in October. Chief K. Scott Kelley was placed on paid administrative leave in September.
