<br /> A letter will be sent-to Selectmen, copies to -Town Accountant, Debra Mills,
<br /> Agnes Gorton, Town Treasurer and Vis. H3righam approving the requested leave of
<br /> absence for Agnes Gorton from July 1, 1975 to September 12, 1975; also, the Board
<br /> has approved Mrs. Bingham's request to fill the,vacancy. created by Mrs. Gorton's
<br /> leave of absence, and therefore recommends Debra Mills to the part-time position
<br /> of secretary, Grade'6, Step 1 ® $2.90-per hour. This'job is to be effective
<br /> subject to the approval of the Selectmen and will terminate no later than
<br /> September 12, 1975. This position does not include town benefits.

<br /> for 5 days, July 8 through July 14, 1975; Mrs. Selena Coombs will be acting on
<br /> Mrs. Bingham's behalf at the Museum during this period without compensation.
<br /> Concerning Mrs. Bingham's recommendations for the breakdown of the salary
<br /> for the Museum Director for the fiscal year 1975/76, a letter will be sent to
<br /> Selectmen, copies to Mrs. Bingham and Finance Committee, stating that since the
<br /> appropriation for this position was for an annual salary of $5250, and not as
<br /> an hourly wage, it should be pro-rated over the fiscal year at an actual amount
<br /> of $100.96 per week. Also, it is the assumption that the clerk referred to in
<br /> the salary work schedule sent by Mrs. Bingham dated July 11, 1975; refers to
<br /> the position nominally held by Mrs. Agnes. Gorton. The Personnel Board could
<br /> only approve the breakdown of this salary work schedule on the basis that this
<br /> position be re-classified on a part-time seasonal basis, and be excluded from
<br /> participating in all fringe benefits. This decision was based on the fact that
<br /> this job was originally funded on the basis of a part-time job regularly under
<br /> 20 hours average per week, therefore not participating in the town benefit program.
<br /> A letter will be sent to Mrs. bitam stating that the Personnel Board
<br /> has not received the proposed breakdow for the Museum custodial position, and
<br /> any recommendations by this board would be pursuant to receipt of this information.
<br /> A letter will be sent to Chief Mills, Fire Department, with copies to Selectmen,
<br /> Town Accountant and Town Treasurer, stating that call firemen and wage employees
<br /> within the fire department are not affected by the collective bargaining procedure
<br /> and all employees within this pay structure should be paid a 5% cost of living
<br /> increase retroactive to July 1, 1975• Also, a letter will be sent to Town Treasurer,
<br /> copies to Selectmen, Town Accountant, and President of Mashpee Firemen's Association,
<br /> stating that according to agreement with both attorneys handling the fire contract
<br /> negotiations, it is agreed that firemen will receive no cost of living or step
<br /> raises as the contract will be retro-active to July 1, 1975•
<br /> Having no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11 p.m.
