CANTON — The Town Council will have a special meeting at 7:30 a.m. Monday in the municipal building to appoint a successor to Town Clerk Margaret R. "Maggie" Stacy, who is retiring.

The board interviewed two candidates Wednesday, Supervisor David T. Button said.

The council wasn't expecting Ms. Stacy's resignation until next week, but she handed it in Tuesday.

"We'd originally planned to make the appointment on Monday," Mr. Button said. "We just stuck to the original game plan."

Ms. Stacy's official last day will be Dec. 31.
