Partial Payment of Education Incentive • A request from Chief Frye to give partial payment to Patrolman Heim and Patrolman MacDonald for their educational incentive was discussed. The reason for the request for partial payment was that the money was not budgeted into the educational account at the Police Department and the Finance Committee denied Chief Frye's request for additional funds telling him that he would have to go to town meeting. The Personnel Board's feeling was that they did not have the jurisdiction to appropriate the money.
