TOWN OF MASHPEE • Minutes of Meeting, September 10,1975 4:00 P.M. PERSONNEL BOARD AND BOARD OF SELECTMEN PRESENT: For Personnel Board: R.A. Graham, Chairman, W.C. Clendenin, Chester A. Brown For Board of Selectmen: George Benway, Frank Hicks ALSO PRESENT: Sanford A. Koval, Esq. , Attorney for Town for Fire Contract Negotiations Richard Staff, Esq. , Town Counsel The authorization of the position for the Selectmen's office was discussed and it was determined that it should be classified as Clerk/Typist, Grade 4, Step 1 ($2.64 hourly) , since shorthand is not required. The Selectmen will request budgetary approval for this position from the Finance Committee at their meeting this evening. The Personnel Board is receiving applications for this position and will be interviewing on Monday evening, September 15, 1975• There was a discussion of Lucinda Lashley's salary, until now set at $3.27 per hour. Mrs. Lashley will receive retro-actively to July 1, 1975 an hourly figure of $3.35, since the Personnel Board had received this day a favorable Personnel Evaluation Form for Mrs. Lashley signed by Philip DiIorio. The Town Treasurer will be notified of this decision. Concerning Oliver Pocknett's request to have his anniversary date recon- sidered, the Personnel Board explained its decision to set January 1, 1968 as anniversary date, and how this decision had been reached. It was decided that the Selectmen will send a letter to Mr. Pocknett asking for further proof of an earlier employment date with the Town, such as any records from the Barn- stable County Retirement Association. Since anyone earning over $200 per year contributes to this fund, their records should show earliest employment date. In lieu of information to this effect, Mr. Pocknett's anniversary date with the Town will remain January 1, 1968. Severance Pay was discussed, for insertion into the Town's Salary Admin- istration Plan. Attorney Staff was given the suggested terms, and will send a draft to the Personnel Board so that it can be written into the S.A.P. in a manner consistent with the laws of the Commonwealth. The suggested terms for employees whose employment is terminated by the Town are: "After three years of continual employment, averaging at least thirty-five hours per week, one week of severance pay, up to a maximum of twelve weeks, be given to full- time permanent employees. " Attorney Koval went over the proposed Fire Contract to explain any changes requested by the Firefighter's Association, and to discuss Town's position in the negotiations. Mr. Koval suggested that an effort be made to obtain some type of lockers for the firemen, since there is no place where the men can secure their equipment against theft. Concerning the wire-inspector position which had been advertised, Mr. John Newman, present part-time wire inspector, will retain this position, since there were no applicants either qualified, or residing in Mashpee. • .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .continued
