Summary
The council approved an interim town administrator hire, appointed the deputy town clerk to fill an unexpired term, declined to join an appeal in a labor contract case, authorized shed removal and approved a one‑day liquor license among other routine matters.
At the meeting the Little Compton Town Council approved several motions and routine items summarized below.
Hire of interim town administrator: The council voted to hire Anya Raider Wallach as interim town administrator contingent on a suitable contract approved by the solicitor and completion of a successful background check; a start date of 2025-11-03 was recorded in the motion.
Town clerk appointment: The council accepted the retirement designation of Town Clerk Carol A. Wardell and voted to appoint Deputy Town Clerk Heather Jay Cook, CMC, to fill the unexpired term beginning 2026-01-01.
Labor case appeal participation: Following a solicitor summary of a recent ruling about continued terms of lapsed collective bargaining agreements, the council voted not to participate in any appeal of the Town of Barrington case; the solicitor had recommended against participating because of low prospects of success and potential appeal costs.
Garden Club donation and shed removal: Council acknowledged a donation for a garden project and approved removal of two aging, pressure-treated sheds adjacent to the playground; Jason Burchard was authorized to coordinate removal and related site work.
Licenses and routine business: The council approved a one‑day Class F retail beverage license for a Surf and Turf dinner scheduled for 2025-11-08 at 88 Hyundai Road (Little Compton Game Play); it also received budget committee template examples and moved to brief the incoming town administrator on those recommendations.
