Belmont's Town Administrator Hospitalized

David Kale ill with unanticipated "serious" condition; away from Town Hall for week.

Belmont Town Administrator David Kale has been hospitalized for the past week in what he described as "a serious, unanticipated" medical condition. Kale, who returned briefly to Belmont Town Hall for the first time in a week to attend a Board of Selectmen meeting held this morning, April 29, said he will learn from doctors a schedule for his recovery for an acute rather than chronic illness that will likely keep him away from tonight's opening of the annual Town Meeting. The Cambridge resident was hired by the Board of Selectmen in June, 2012, after nine years serving as Cambridge's budget director and deputy finance director.
