The Board was advised by way of a memo from the Executive Secretary that the Selectmen would like to meet with them; however, could not make to- night's meeting. A time will be set aside to meet with the Board of Selectmen at the next Personnel Board meeting. Meeting with Police Chief and Fire Chief Chief Frye and Chief Priestly met with the Personnel Board to discuss creating a new position at the Fire Department and the Police Department; namely, radio dispatcher. The Executive Secretary was also present for part of this meeting. A job description was reviewed by the Personnel Board. Curtis Woodbury asked the secretary to date it. Chief Priestly explained to the Board that there is a need to get coverage at the Fire Station and that there is a similar need at the Police Station. He told the Board that currently the secretary at the Fire Station is doing the dispatching during the day and after 4 p.m, until 8 a:m., the men on duty do the dispatching. When a Priority I call comes in, the men,., leave the station and then it is unmanned. A callman generally comes in and the Police dispatcher will answer the telephone in the meantime, but does not . have the ability to get to the equipment. When a firefighter is, called back, he gets a two-hour minimum and if they go home and are called back again, they are paid for another two hours. He told the Board that he would like to designate men when they are at home to be on call and get paid for one hour. Then if called back, they would get paid for another hour. • Caroline commented that that was in conflict with their contract. Manuel asked if the Chief had projected figures for a year's time. Chief Priestly answered "no". He said that it would be three hours pay as there would be three men involved, which would amount to $21 a day.
