Mr. Baker felt that the items for consideration were the change in the insurance split be from 75/25 to 50/50 or 60/40. Mr. Ferriday MOTIONED that the insurance split be moved to 50/50. Mr. Gallo thought 60/40. Mr. Baker mentioned that just about every town on the cape was using a 50/50 split. Ms. Greelish mentioned that if we proposed a 50/50 split, we would have to know exactly what the money value was and exactly what the employee would be responsible to pay for. Mr. Baker stated that he was proposing that the 50/50 should be for new hires. Mr. Ferriday mentioned that if we started at 50/50 you could always go up to 60/40. Mr. Dunivan mentioned that what is given in a contract is usually not taken away. The next item proposed by Mr. Baker was elimintating double holiday pay (cost trade off required) . Mr. Baker suggested the committee do a study to see if their would be a savings by taking away extra holiday pay for everyone and just paying the men/women who work. Ms. Greelish stated that the person who did not work would get regular pay for the holiday and the person who did work would get an additional days pay or time and a half pay. Next members discussed the reduction of sick days (cost trade off required) . Mr. Baker mentioned that this would take some study. Mr. Goggin mentioned that there should be some limit on buy-back. Mr. Gallo mentioned that he would like to see the number of sick days go from 15 days to 10 days and if only a partial number of days be used then then pay the employee for those days remaining in cash. At the next meeting members will also discuss elimination of compensation time and eliminating longevity. The meeting in executive session adjourned at 9:40 P.M. Minutes submitted by Jean M.
