Background:

Town Council Meeting 10/13/2022: Mayor Allyn, III, requested the Town Council consider
merging Ordinance #100-014 "An Ordinance Establishing a Parks and Recreation Commission for the Town of Ledyard" and Ordinance #100-016 "An Ordinance Establishing a Senior Citizens Commission for the Town of Ledyard".

The Parks & Recreation Department has been operating in the building on Van Tassel Drive in Gales Ferry and working in tandem with the Senior Citizens Center providing oversight of the facility.

Mr. Scott Johnson, Jr. has been serving as the Director of both the Parks & Recreation and the Senior Citizens for the past few years.

Combining/Merging the duties of the Town Committees/Commissions/Boards that have similar interests into a single commission will minimize administrative support by reducing the number of Committees/Commissions/Boards in town.

Combining/Merging the two Commissions would provide a financial benefit to the Senior Citizens Commission for Aging (or the Elderly)making available the funding of the conveyance tax that is set-aside in the Parks & Recreation Capital Account Fund 203 (formerly Fund 8) established by Ordinance #200-009 "An Ordinance Providing for Transfer of Certain Revenue from Real Estate conveyance Tax to Special Town of Ledyard Funds; and in accordance with Ordinance #200-012 "An Ordnance Creating a Municipal Parks and Recreation Capital and Non Non-Recuring Expense Fund for the Town of Ledyard.
