FRAMINGHAM – City of Framingham Mayor Charlie Sisitsky has had conversations with retired City of Framingham DPW Director Peter Sellers on the “possibility” of a return to the City as DPW Director “for a period,” according to the Mayor’s Chief of Staff.

Last month, Mayor Sisitsky re-appointed the City’s engineer William Sedewitz to his second 90-day term as Acting Director of Public Works.

Former Mayor Yvonne Spicer appointed Sedewitz to his first 90-day term as Acting DPW Director on October 28, 2021.

Under the City’s charter, an individual can only be appointed to an acting position for a maximum of 180 days.

“Bill is the best option right now,” said the Mayor’s Chief of Staff, “but the Mayor is having conversations with Peter Sellers on a possible return for a period.”

The City of Framingham began advertising for a full-time permanent DPW Director in October 2021.
