TOWN OF MASHPEE <br /> PERSONNEL BOARD <br /> Minutes of Meeting, Wednesday; 2/18/76, 7:30 p.m. <br /> PRESENT: W.S. Clendenin, R.A. Graham, C.A. Brown, R.A. Mach, K. Parolski, <br /> The meeting was held at Mr. Graham's office at Sequoia•l nsurance Co. , Mashpee. <br /> The Personnel Board's annual report was reviewed, as prepared by Mr. Clen- <br /> denin. <br /> r <br /> There was a discussion of the°Police Chiefs salary. On November 15, 1971 <br /> the Town approved the ratio of 1.8% above highest patrolman in determining the <br /> Chief's salary. In Mr. Clendenin's discussions with Selectmen recently, the <br /> Selectmen had indicated that the Town was no longer obligated under the recently <br /> changed law to use the set ratio of 1.8% for this determination. A letter will <br /> be sent to Selectmen, stating that in the Personnel Board's opinion, continuation <br /> of a 1.8% increase would be unwarranted, 'based on the Board's review of comparable <br /> salaries for Chie$of Police. It will be noted that if an article is necessary <br /> for Town Meeting action, the Personnel Board would unanimously recommend this <br /> course of action and that such article would also encompass the ratio now set for <br /> a Fire Chief under the law (1.5%). <br /> Mrs. Marjorie Romaine stopped in to discuss her salary as secretary to several <br /> committees. A letter will be sent to Mrs. Romaine stating that secretaries' rate <br /> • of pay is $2.90 per hour, Grade 6, Step 1, and that the chairman of each committee <br /> should inform the Personnel Board of her starting date with that committee. <br /> Mr. Clendonin againtstieesed,,the ixportance'oftindividuals, committees, or <br /> boards making appointments,.rather than'drbpping-,fin. <br /> Advertisement in the Falmouth Enterprise and Cape Cod Times will be placed <br /> during the week of 2/23/76 - 2/27/76 for-part-time secretaries needed for various <br /> committees, usually during evening hours:'1 Applications and resumes will be screened <br /> by the Personnel Board, and thosegqualified will be recommended to committees seeking <br /> aeoretarial help.. ,, ` �" + f t t.•�"tt <br /> There was discussion of the salary figures for the Highway Department for the <br /> fiscal year 1976/77• It was agreed to re-classify the position of Superintendent <br /> of Streets to Grade 18, Step 2.
