The Beacon is the Massachusetts Municipal Association’s monthly magazine, and this month in its section on People, it recognizing Medfield’s new Assistant Town Administrator, Frank Gervasio and Assistant to the Town Administrator, Brittney Franklin’s new role as public information coordinator.

Medfield resident and long time town government volunteer, Jeremy Marsette is also noted to be the new Sherborn Town Administrator.

Frank Gervasio became the new assistant town administrator in Medfield on Nov. 14. For the past six years, Gervasio worked for the state in numerous roles. He had served as director of special initiatives for the Division of Local Services since September 2019, and previously spent more than a year as a senior project manager and nearly three years as a project manager, both in the Executive Office for Administration and Finance. He also spent a year working as a portfolio operations analyst for GMO, and three years as a financial control analyst for J.P. Morgan. He has a bachelor’s degree in political science and history from The George Washington University. In Medfield, Gervasio takes the place of Nicholas Milano, who left in August to become the town administrator in Milton. Also in Medfield, Brittney Franklin, the assistant to the town administrator, recently added another title: public information coordinator. Franklin spent more than three years at the MMA as a senior legislative analyst before she began working for Medfield in November 2021. Jeremy Marsette became the new town administrator in Sherborn on Nov. 28. Marsette had been the public works director in Natick for the past eight years. Previously, he spent six years working in Framingham, as engineer and then as assistant public works director. He also spent more than a decade in civil engineering and project management roles, in both the public and private sectors. He has served on a number of boards and committees, including the Medfield Warrant Committee, the executive board of the Association of Town Finance Committees, and the MMA’s Policy Committee on Public Works, Transportation and Public Utilities. Marsette has a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the University of New Hampshire and a master’s degree in business administration from Southern New Hampshire University. He also completed the MMA-Suffolk University Certificate in Local Government Leadership and Management program. In Sherborn, Marsettte replaces David Williams, who left in early 2022 after nine years in the role and now serves as the chief financial officer for the Brockton Housing Authority. Diane Moores had been serving as Sherborn’s interim administrator.
