Council approves FY2026 salaries and several administrative items; holds interim finance contract for revision
Summary
The council approved salaries and benefits for fiscal year 2026 and authorized longevity payments, accepted a long‑serving Beach Commission resignation, approved routine licenses, and voted to hold the proposed interim finance director contract until a corrected version is provided at the July 10 meeting.
The Little Compton Town Council approved salary and benefit recommendations for fiscal year 2026, authorized longevity payments and handled a set of routine administrative items at the meeting on [date not specified].
Councilors moved to approve the written salary and benefits schedule as presented; a councilor noted a revised version of the part‑time schedule had been provided before the meeting and asked members to confirm they were voting on the corrected document. The motion passed with no recorded opposition.
On personnel contracting, councilors reviewed a proposed contract for an interim finance director but identified errors in the draft circulated at the meeting — including an incorrect duration and an incorrect name on the document. One councilor moved to hold the proposed contract until the July 10 meeting so the clerk and solicitor could present a corrected version; that motion passed unanimously.
The council also approved several routine license matters and administrative items: a 1‑day retail beverage license for a preservation association event on July 23, a mobile fleet commercial license for a lemonade vendor, and the renewal of a lawn and landscaping license for a local business. The council accepted with regret the resignation of Bill Ryan from the Little Compton Beach Commission effective June 23, 2025, and directed the council president to send a letter of thanks for his service.
What’s next: The interim finance director contract will return for action at the July 10 meeting with corrected language; staff will implement the approved FY2026 salary schedule and notify affected employees. Routine licenses and the resignation were processed under consent.
