LEBANON — City Manager Shaun Mulholland could be on his way out of his role later this year.

Mulholland has notified the mayor and City Council that he is a finalist for the town manager position in Londonderry, N.H., he said Friday.

He has not resigned and does not yet have the job in Londonderry, but said he had to inform the council of his potential departure after word began to spread.

Mulholland said the Londonderry Town Council is scheduled to vote Monday on whether to hire him as their manager. If the council approves, Mulholland said he planned to officially announce his resignation as early as Tuesday.

Officials in Londonderry did not respond to requests for comment.

If Mulholland resigns, his contract stipulates that he must give the city 90 days notice, meaning he could be in Lebanon through May.

Mulholland came to Lebanon at the beginning of 2018. Prior to that, he had been town administrator in Allenstown, N.H., where he also had worked as police chief.

Though he declined to discuss the reason for his potential departure, Mulholland said that there is “no malice” with Lebanon or its leadership. He described the move to Londonderry as an “opportunity.”

Londonderry, south of Manchester on Interstate 93, has a population of about 26,000, well above Lebanon’s population of about 15,000, according to Census data.
