The move comes just weeks after the state auditor’s office released a report detailing a lack of financial oversight in the town and overspending of general funds, among other things.
The retirement comes as the town is working through a long list of goals prompted by the auditor’s report.
Town leaders declined to say whether Fitts is the only one leaving the finance department, but did say the department has been under stress.

“I hit the 30-year mark this month, so [retiring] has been my plan,” Fitts wrote.
