I <br /> Mss Thomas continues + <br /> waiting for a little attention. The workload increased, ( � <br /> e , yes they <br /> got some 7%, but, they were not recognized for tae job they were doing. <br /> I' think it is very important for our Town employees who are the back- <br /> boxre of this Town to support this evaluation of their jobs. I would <br /> ask you to support this Article. <br /> Mr Garland: I `would like to second NIrs Thomas' remarks and to say that <br /> the clerical persons in this Town have been given additional duties <br /> I think they are riCD <br /> ght in that they have not been put into the right <br /> Slott if you will. As a measure of good faith, when negotiating this <br /> contract; we ,the Board of Selectmen and Attorney Gilman, agreed to <br /> present and support this Article. I hope you will agree and support <br /> our activities <br /> Kr Lawrence (Peter) keen this came up a few minutes ago, why did not <br /> the Selectmen make these statements and we would not have had to waste <br /> the time on reconsideration. You did not present the, motion correctly. <br /> And you did not back it correctly.Your explanation makes a lot of <br /> sense. Why didn't you do this to begin with? <br /> Mir Towner (William) I would like to know something about the qualifi- <br /> cations of the man who is to do this job. Mhat are we looking for., in <br /> a consultant? <br /> Krs Thomas: We are going to get a super � <br /> g g o p person and with the permission <br /> of the Moderator I would like Joe Murphy to speak on the subject. <br /> Joseph Murphy: The Selectmen sought proposals from four firms. <br /> Of these proposals the Board and if the money is funded , appropriated <br /> rather, would award the contract to the Kassachusetts Municipal 21ssn. <br /> That Association would have,as the principals involved, four individu <br /> uals with extensive backgrounds in State and Personnel services. The <br /> principal one involved would be Judith Robbins. She is more a Personnel <br /> specialist. She has been involved in public administration for years. <br /> Another, would be Brent Wilkes, director of field services. <br /> He has been involved with the State department of Community Affairs. <br /> Also James Pritchard who is a consultant for 20 years in this state <br /> and in -`Jew Hampshire involved primarily in smaller communities. I <br /> recommended this particular firm because of their methodology <br /> and the staff that would be associated with them would be the best <br /> available to the Town. <br />
