Personnel Board Meeting - Minutes of November 15, 1982 Page 2 • Board Secretary to Public Works Committee The Public Works Committee has had two temporary fill ins: Grace Erdman and Joyce Mason. To date, Joyce Mason is the only town employee who seemed to indicate that she was interested in the position. Dave suggested checking with Amy Mosley; however, Bob suggested re-posting it for another week. Manuel asked what newspapers the town usually advertises in. The secretary told him that ads are placed in the Cape Cod Times and Falmouth Enterprise for most positions. Bob mentioned that ads have been place in the Globe for depart- ment head positions. Dave suggested advertising in the Penny Saver as he felt it covered a wide area. Recreation Aide Request In a memo dated November. 10, 1982, the Personnel Board is advised by the Execu- tive Secretary that the Board of Selectmen are reluctant at this time to create any new positions. As a result, they do not want to create the position of Recreation Aide and are desirous of maintaining the status quo in terms of pay- ing from the Expense Account the services of a person who would have the same responsibility as a Recreation Aide. Meeting with Library Trustees Toni Robertson, Ann Fitzgerald and Arnold Swenson, along with the Librarian, Gloria Selander, met with the Personnel Board to discuss the opening which re- sulted upon the resignation of the Librarian to be effective on January 1, 1983. Concerns of the Trustees were discussed regarding salary, fringe benefits and • whether or not the position of Librarian should be removed from the P.A.P. Bob informed the Trustees that in talking with the Executive Secretary, according to the new law, the Trustees can set the salary as long as the funds have been appropriated to cover the amount and that the fringe benefits could be increased in the area of Health Insurance as well as the position being taken out of the P.A.P. Toni Robertson indicated that she would like the Personnel Board to con- tinue keeping track of the records as well as doing the advertising. Bob said that the Personnel Board will do the advertising, however, he would like- the Trustees present during the interviewing process. Curtis Woodbury asked why the month delay in notifying the Personnel .Board of the resignation when the Trustees received it on October 4. Toni Robertson said that the Trustees had been working on the job description for two meetings. Curtis then asked why the Trustees feel that the position should not be included in the P.A.P. Toni Robertson said that they feel the position of''Librarian should not be classified with clerks and secretarial positions and that it was a different level position from what it was grouped with. Curtis informed the Trustees that Department Heads are included in the P.A.P. He asked why they .are requesting that a MLS degree be needed? Toni Robertson said that they included that because they were not sure who would be do- ing the advertising. Gloria Selander commented that under the P.A.P.., a person could strike and bargain and that a Librarian works :under the Board of Trustees.. She commented that they have a worker not covered by the P.A.P. referring to the part-time library aide with ten hours or less a week. Gloria said that she felt an administrator should be on the management side of the table. She. said that she believes Town Counsel would move the position of Librarian out of the P.A.P. • Curtis asked about Chapter 151E and what it pertained to? Toni Robertson said that it is a law which governs forming a Union. Manuel asked if the Trustees had an application form with questions on it which pertain to Librarians? Toni Robertson said that they do not have such a form as it is something which the Personnel Board always handled.
