Finance Committee Minutes <br /> March 5, 1991 <br /> EXECUTIVE SESSION <br /> The police contract was close to settlement, however, the Selectmen have <br /> now decided not to pay retroactive pay - on a unanimous vote. Jim noted that <br /> this may be illegal. It appears that the Selectmen have taken an indefensible <br /> position. The reason the contract was not settled last year was because the <br /> town brought action to separate patrolmen from the superior officers. The <br /> union could not negotiate. Kevin Harrington has been trying to get some <br /> consistency in the contracts and have them settle all around the same time. <br /> The police were willing to take a wage freeze for next year. Jim noted that <br /> this contract will not be settled, and the Finance Committee had recommended <br /> a $20,000 cut to the Legal & Engineering Account. The police have been <br /> working without a contract for 18 months. Selectmen are willing to agree <br /> to a three-year contract but no retroactive pay. The town dragged their <br /> feet and that's why contract was not settled. Toe- ba—al- Gi the SP3Antmen S <br /> r <br /> r <br />
