Motion passes at 7:33 p.m. <br /> Article 6. <br /> To see if the Town will vote to appropriate or transfer from available funds $30,000 to the Police <br /> Salary and Wage Account. <br /> Submitted by the Chief of Police <br /> Explanation: The Police Salary and Wage Account is in deficit this fiscal year (FY `97) due to <br /> extraordinary and partially unforeseen labor/payroll costs. The unforeseen and extraordinary <br /> payroll expenditures resulted from an unusually higher amount of hours utilized in the <br /> investigation of major crimes, including death investigations, rape, sexual assault, and abuse <br /> (domestic, elder, and child) cases. Many of these cases required a considerable amount of <br /> overtime expended at the investigative stage, grand jury/criminal complaint proceedings, and at <br /> court appearances. Moreover, the Police Department expended an unusual amount of monies for <br /> public safety operations during Hurricane Edouardo. Also, collective bargaining contract <br /> obligations relative to the filling of vacancies in the Patrol Section caused by sick leave, vacation <br /> leave, and on the job injuries exceeded previously budgeted expectations. <br /> Recommendation: The Finance Committee recommends approval. <br /> Motion made by Peter Dinizio. <br /> Motion: I move the Town vote to appropriate and transfer $30,000 from the Hurricane Bob <br /> Account to the Police Salary/Wage Account. <br /> Motion passes at 7:34 p.m. <br /> Article 7. <br /> To see if the Town will vote to appropriate or transfer from available funds $5,000 to the Police <br /> Off-Duty Detail Wage Account. <br /> Submitted by the Chief of Police '. <br /> Explanation: Passage of this article will help ensure the Police Department Off-Duty Detail <br /> Wage Account will not be in a deficit while awaiting payments from vendors or cause any <br /> unnecessary delay in making payment of off-duty detail wages to police officers for detail duties <br /> performed. <br /> Recommendation: The Finance Committee recommends approval. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Costa. <br /> Motion: I move the Town vote to appropriate and transfer $5,000 from the Medical Insurance <br /> Account to the Police Off Duty Account. <br /> Motion passes 7:34 p.m. <br />
