Members of the Sumpter Township Board of Trustees have named Township Manager Anthony Burdick as interim parks director.
Burdick will now be the main source of communication with the board members regarding park grants and other matters. Trustee Matthew Oddy noted that the new designation would not change or interfere with the work of the Parks and Recreation Commission or Park Grants Administrator Sharon Pokerwinski.
Oddy said this was an effort only to centralize communications about the grants available from the county.
The designation was unanimously approved by trustees during the Aug. 23 meeting.
