Mr. <br /> York brought up the point that the Town does not insure volunteers, <br /> and it would not be wise to use volunteers without medical <br /> insurance. Ms. Sullivan questioned Mr. York about the number of <br /> violations he has seen thus far this winter and she also asked him <br /> where his water quality lab is located? Mr. York mentioned that <br /> the lab is located presently in the DPW building. Mr. York spends <br /> a few hours each week in the water quality lab. He spends most of <br /> his time patrolling. He stated that enforcement is the number one <br /> priority. <br /> Ms. Sullivan felt that it was only fair that she tell Mr. York that <br /> her recommendation to the Finance Committee would be a reduction in <br /> hours for Mr. York. She recommended keeping him on the same <br /> schedule as the Harbormaster.

Ms. Sullivan stepped <br /> down from discussion. Mr. Dunivan stated that he felt it should be <br /> put in writing that the Committee is unhappy. Ms. Greelish stated <br /> that in her opinion it is "water under the bridge". It is $70,000 <br /> in total dollars budgeted for the increases.
