Littleton Charter Committee reaffirms Board of Health appointment recommendation despite member and public opposition. At a joint meeting on March 2, Board of Health Chair Kevin Davis explained the board's unique law-making authority, while members Matt Wayson and Kevin Baker and public attendee Erica Podgorni raised concerns about political independence in appointed positions. Wayson recounted his appointment hearing experience, and Podgorni cited COVID-19 as an example of how select board pressure to prioritize business reopening can conflict with health priorities.
After extensive discussion, the Charter Committee confirmed its previous recommendation to make the Board of Health appointed rather than elected, with no members changing their positions.
