He states that Mrs . Lund has averaged nearly 23 hours a week over the past 20 weeks .

Jane Stockbridge pointed out to the Board that they were researching the matter . Leo Turo suggested taking the request into consideration . Ben Lofchie felt that departments should not allow their staff to work additional hours as they were defeating their own purpose in getting extra help . After additional discussion , Chairman Sullivan suggested that we send a memo stating that two'-,board members were looking at benefits for part-time personnel and to remind them that the position is classified for less than 20 hours . Manuel Glickman moved to advise the Conservation Commission of the above recommendation by Chairman Sullivan . Ben Lofchie seconded . All in favor .

A joint letter was, sent requesting that both Boards be notified of dates for the interviews of the Executive Secretary ; however , the Board never heard anything back .' He asked how things like this happen? Selectman Carter said -that it was never brought, ,up -in a Selectman ' s meeting and that the meetings for interviewing candidates for the Executive Secre- tary were all public . If it was a formal invitation that the Board was looking for , then they were negligent . He said that the Board of Selectmen wanted to conduct the actual questionning , but it would have been helpful for the Board for personnel member ' s comments _ Selectman Carter said one of the problems is that they do not have a full-time Executive Secretary . Selectman Carter updated the Board of the process to date saying that they had three finalists -- two of which may accept other positions elsewhere _ He told the Board that there may be more interviews and the Board may have an opportunity to come . in and help them . Selectman Carter suggested send- ing all future correspondence to him and he will see that it is put on the Selectmen ' s agenda .
