He told. the Board that if he were to take his vaca- tion days (which he plans to do as he clogs net wish to lose them) he would Leave the last week of May and be Out of the office until the middle of June. He said that the Police Department would not have anybody aboard if both the Chief and the Deputy Chiu were to take their vacation. A brief run-down of other department heads vacation time was out- lined for the Board. Reference was made by the Executive Secretary to the 'Town of mher4st' s vacation policy which requires department heads to take at Least a week's vacation away from the place and then if they wish not to take additional days, they can have the town buy back vacation in benefits. Joe said that the Town could offer vision-or dental insurance, etc. possibly buying it back' in benefits on 50 cents on the dollar and not dollar for dollar. Ben L fchie asked if it were passible to buy insurance for a one-year policy? Joe said that there would be a lot of research and paperwork involved. It would call for a lot of careful consideration and lona-ranee thinking -and that it would not be available for every town employee, It should be for upper-management level.. Joe told the Board that there would be an art' placed n the warrant for special town meeting scheduled for May 20 asking the town to appropriate monies for a consultant. If the -consultant were #pr ved, they would be asked not Only to review salaries but to- review the P.A.P. to come up with recommendations dealing with vacation, etc.
