Selectmen table assistant-to-human-and-social-services job description after public concern over senior-center staffing
Summary
The board tabled discussion of a 20-hour Assistant to Human & Social Services Director job description to Aug. 4 after public comment urged senior-center staffing and space be addressed; Porter said the position is posted and cross-trained to support Parks & Recreation.
The Board of Selectmen voted to table discussion of the Assistant to Human & Social Services Director job description until the Aug. 4 meeting. The position, posted at 20 hours per week and described by Town Manager David Porter as non-union with cross-training support for Parks & Recreation, prompted questions from board members about potential salary changes if hours are adjusted.
Multiple public commenters — including Peggy Golfin and Deb Bourbeau — read statements approved by the Commission on Aging urging attention to the job description and Senior Center space. Porter said he strongly prefers language that retains support to Parks & Recreation. The board agreed to return the item on Aug. 4 with requested financial data.
