16 Volunteers Sought for Four Boards

The Town Council is looking for 16 volunteers to serve on four Barrington boards – including a Charter Review Commission being formed.

A dozen qualified electors are being sought to serve as volunteers on the Charter Review Commission. It is an ad hoc board that will probably meet several times a month until early next year as it reviews the Town Charter for possible amendments.

The Board of Canvassers is looking for a qualified elector to serve on the canvassing board.  The volunteer must be a registered Republican or a registered Moderate to fill an unexpired term ending March 31, 2015.  There is a small stipend.

The Housing Board of Trustees has two vacancies for alternates; the Senior Services Advisory Board has one opening for an alternate. 

The housing trustees serve as advisors to the Town Council on housing in Barrington, particularly all affordable-housing developments. The board meets monthly, usually on the third Tuesday. Trustees serve 3-year terms. The two vacancies include a third alternate to fill an unexpired term ending October, 2014, and a second alternate to fill an unexpired term ending October 2015.

Senior services board members also serve as advisors to the Town Council. Board members serve 3-year terms; the board usually meets on the second Tuesday of each month. The vacancy is for a second alternate, who will fill an unexpired term ending February, 2014. 

Résumé forms can be obtained through the Barrington website at www.barrington.ri.gov, at the Town Clerk's Office at Town Hall, or at the Library. 

The deadline to submit your résumé to the Town Clerk’s Office is Friday, June 21.
