Commission approves contract amendment and votes to post director position pending updated job description

The Littleton Park and Recreation Commission approved three formal actions at its July 14 meeting: acceptance of minutes for three prior meetings, approval of additional contract services tied to grant work, and a vote to post the director position once the job description is updated.

A commissioner moved to approve the minutes for May 12, June 9 and the special June 15 meeting; the motion received a second and the commission voted in favor.

On an amendment for additional services to an existing contract (billed work to support a USTA grant and related field/tennis-court work), Commissioner Sol moved to approve the request. The motion was seconded and the commission voted aye. The acting director said the invoice reflected services rendered over recent months and that Jim had signed off on the work.

On personnel, commissioners debated the director job posting and agreed to review a draft outside the meeting. Commissioner Sol moved to post the director position contingent on an updated job description; the motion was seconded and the commission voted in favor, with the chair stating she would send the posting and collect members' comments before forwarding it to town staff for posting.
