Rodney Bartlett, the former public works director and town administrator in Peterborough, died July 25 at the age of 71.
According to Bartlett’s obituary from Peabody Funeral Home, Bartlett was born and raised in Berlin, Mass., and graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a degree in civil engineering.
He worked in the Derry Public Works Department from 1979 to 1990 and was public works director in Salem before taking the same position in Peterborough in 2006. He was named town administrator in 2015, a position he held until announcing his retirement in 2020 as part of a five-year succession plan developed by town leadership in 2015.
Nicole MacStay, who had been Bartlett’s deputy town administrator, took over the position Jan. 1, 2021.
After retirement, Bartlett served the town as a consultant to help secure funding for the Cold Stone Springs water supply project with Jaffrey and finish the Main Street Bridge project. When the bridge reopened to traffic Dec. 15, 2021, Bartlett and Selectman Bill Taylor rode in the first vehicle to cross the bridge.
