Commission On Aging Has Two Positions Open

First Selectman Pat Llodra is calling on any qualified resident who may consider serving on one of the various openings on town boards and commissions.

There is an alternate position open to any party and a vacant alternate position available to a Republican or unaffiliated voter on the Commission for Aging. 

The Commission on Aging studies the needs of elderly and aging persons in Newtown, coordinates programs for the elderly and aging in Newtown, and makes applications for grants to state and federal governmental agencies.

Members also may prepare written opinions on the merits of programs for which grants are proposed and act as agent for other federal, state, or town boards, commissions, or agencies or local private groups to carry out programs for the elderly and aging in Newtown, as from time to time are specifically authorized by such boards, commissions, and agencies and groups.

The Lake Lillinonah Authority has a vacant position for an unaffiliated voter. The Lake Lillinonah Authority is comprised of three delegates from each town having a portion of Lake Lillinonah within their territorial limits.

That authority has all powers granted by the Connecticut General Statutes for lake authorities, including, without limitation, powers relating to the enforcement of boating laws on the lake.

The Hattertown Historic District, Sustainable Energy, and the Building Appeals Board also have long-term openings. Any interested parties for any of the openings besides the Board of Managers may contact the first selectman’s office or Sue Marcinek at 203-270-4203.
