I think one part timer. But that’s just my guess.

The Mayor was talking about possibly two part time people and before I left for vacation handed me a resume of someone he was interested in and asked me to speak with them.  He said these employees would likely be reporting to Park & Rec, but that I should have the opportunity to go check what was cleanup up and make sure it was done properly. Having them report to Parks & Rec makes sense to me. Parks & Rec does already pick up litter in a number of areas, and when a dangerous street like Mill Street needs to be cleaned up, they will need a crew and truck there to do so safely.

 

As for the committee’s notes of not wanting to “relinquish control of the funds and hiring to the Mayor”, the Litter Committee is advisory only and doesn’t have the authority under state or local law to hire/fire personnel or have direct access to the funds coming in at this time. The Litter Committee’s roll would be advising the Mayor/BOA on how to use the funds.

Those funds are designated for “the City of Shelton” (ie the Mayor/BOA) to spend in a way that meets the state law.  

 

Better for the Litter Committee to come up with a list of areas it would like cleaned routinely under the program. Ideally I think we should have a tracking list of each cleanup and how much was hauled away.

We need to discuss this further before it is finalized, and at least come up with a job description and Expectations/ Goals/ Standards to hold these positions to and be part of the screening process if we can
