Article 7 To see if the Town will vote to create an additional position of full-time (40 hours/week) Maintainer I in the Department of Public Works under the SEN, Local 888, AFL-CIO, Public Works Unit, and, for said purpose, vote to appropriate and transfer from revenue available for appropriation $57,489 with said funds to be distributed as follows: $37,727 to the Department of Public Works Salary/Wage Account; $19,179 to the Medical Insurance Account; $35 to the Group Insurance Account, and $548 to the Medicare Account, or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by the Board of Selectmen Explanation: The Maintainer I position for DPW assists with the daily maintenance of the Town's roads, parks, beaches, fields, cemeteries, and grounds. The position also works during snow events. A new position was last added in FY 2013. Since that time, the Town has accepted another 5 miles of road (for a total of 80 miles of Town roads), constructed another 2- mile sidewalk (for a total of 10 miles of multi-use paths/sidewalks), and has expanded or built numerous park facilities. An additional position will help ease the increasing demands and allow DPW to maintain the expected level of service. 11
