Motion: I move the Town vote to accept Article 8 as printed in the warrant except for the <br /> phrase, "or take any other action relating thereto." <br /> Motion passes at 7:31 p.m. <br /> Article 9 <br /> To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate or transfer from available funds the sum of <br /> $8,841 to create a 19 hour Circulation Assistant position, Grade 3, Step 1, of the Personnel <br /> Administration Plan with said funds to be distributed as follows: $8,211 to the Library Salary and <br /> Wage Account, $630 to the Medicare Account, or take any other action relating thereto. <br /> Submitted by the Board of Library Trustees <br /> Explanation: The Library has not added a new position since 1988. Since that time, circulation <br /> and usage of the Library has increased from 34,976 circulation transactions per year to 72,151 <br /> transactions in FY94; an increase of 106%. In the current year, FY95, circulation transactions <br /> will surpass 80,000 items. The Library has delayed asking for additional staffing over the last <br /> several years because of the difficult funding situation facing the Town, even though the <br /> increasing volume of circulation would have justified the request. The Library cannot continue to <br /> provide the same level of services without additional staffing. Adding an additional position will <br /> help the Library to continue to provide library and information services to its patrons while coping <br /> with an average growth rate of 14%per year. <br /> Recommendation: The Finance Committee does not recommend approval. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Caffyn. <br /> Motion: I move the Town vote to create a 19 hour Circulation Assistant position, Grade 3, Step <br /> 1, of the Personnel Administration Plan and further to raise and appropriate $8,841 to be <br /> distributed as follows: $8,211 to the Library Salary/Wage Account, $630 to the Medicare <br /> Account. <br /> Motion passes at 7:45 p.m. <br /> Article 10 <br /> To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate or transfer from available funds the sum of <br /> $30,758.64 to the DPW Salary/Wage Account to fund one Heavy Equipment Operator position <br /> to be expended as follows: $25,044 to the DPW Salary/Wage Account, $5,276.64 to the Health <br /> Insurance Account, $404 to the Medicare Account, and $34 Group Insurance Account, or take <br /> any other action relating thereto. <br /> Submitted by the DPW Director <br /> 6 <br />
