Minutes of the Personnel Board's Meeting of April 30, 1982, coast. <br /> Bob made reference to a book which lists salaries for every town on the Cape. <br /> Selectwoman Thomas asked if it were the Elress, which lists' the population in <br /> a town and the number of people in each department. She mentioned a survey <br /> which Joe Murphy was talking about costing $2,500 for comparison work. She <br /> thought that it would definitely be a time-consuming project and a concentrated <br /> effort on everybody's part. <br /> Bob said that he thought the name of the book was: "Mass. Employees Association". <br /> Selectwoman Thomas made reference to a few positions which need more money than <br /> what they are presently getting such as the town accountant's position and the <br /> superintendent of streets position. <br /> Caroline said that the Personnel Board looks at the education and/or work exper- <br /> ience when interviewing an individual for a position. <br /> Selectwoman Thomas mentioned that the Superintendent of Streets is asking for a <br /> 10% increase as a man under him would be getting $25 less than he would. <br /> Caroline commented that he knew the salary when he was hired. <br /> John commented that the Personnel Board has not had dealings with setting salaries. <br /> Selectwoman Thomas suggested doing a comparison of other towns. <br /> Bob again made reference to the book which lists the salaries from other towns. <br /> . Curtis said that he was in favor of the book. <br /> Selectwoman Thomas replied that she would check into it. <br /> John suggested doing the comparison study and looking into the difficulty of some <br /> jobs. <br /> Selectwoman Thomas referred to the fact that there has been a lot of turnover in <br /> personnel throughout the town some of which we understand why which is due to the <br /> fact that we are not paying them enough and there are a number of duties under the <br /> job title. <br /> John said another reason was that we are not always competitive with the private <br /> sector. <br /> Selectwoman Thomas said that we are talking about salaries set by the State. <br /> Bob asked the secretary to contact department heads and employees with a position <br /> description questionnaire. <br /> Selectwoman Thomas asked if it was agreed to postpone Article 31 indefinitely? <br /> Caroline said that she would postpone the article. <br /> All the members were in agreement. <br /> . Selectwoman Thomas referred to Article 19 and said that it would be postponed by <br /> Kevin O'Connell. <br /> -2- <br />
