Town seeks volunteers

New volunteers will have a chance to join Charlotte’s various municipal committees and commissions this spring. According to a notice posted in March, 16 terms on bodies including the trails committee, the recreation commission and the conservation commission will expire on April 30, joining eight preexisting vacancies.

The selectboard plans to interview candidates at its next scheduled meeting on April 14. They must apply by April 7. If positions remain unfilled after April 14, the board will hold a second round of interviews on April 28, with applications due by April 21.

“We’ve been putting out notices on Front Porch Forum for going on a few months,” town administrator Nate Bareham said.

Interested residents can find an application on the town website. They can also call 802-425-3071 ext. 5 for more information.

Terms last between one and four years. The planning commission, the park & wildlife refuge oversight committee, the Thompson’s Point wastewater advisory committee and the energy committee all have openings. The selectboard will also look to appoint a tree warden, two deputy tree wardens, an emergency management director, an emergency management coordinator and two alternates for the development review board.
