Motion passes unanimously at 7:57 PM. Article 8 To see if the Town will vote to create an additional position of full-time (40 hours/week) Facilities Maintenance Worker 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 Maintenance Worker position for DPW assists with the daily maintenance of the 13 Town buildings (including the 3 schools) as well as the multiple other municipal structures located throughout the Town (including docks, concession buildings, shade shelters, etc.). The position also works during storm events. A part-time position was increased to full time in FY 2014, but DPW is still finding it difficult with the existing 6-person staff to manage the over 1300 facility requests received each year as well as the special projects undertaken (such as the Archives renovation). An additional position will help DPW handle the work load and decrease the need to contract for services. The Board of Selectmen recommends approval by a vote of 5-0. The Finance Committee recommends approval by a vote of 4-2, 1 absent. Motion made by Selectman Andrew Gottlieb.
