Deirdre motioned that these <br /> minutes be approved, seconded by Carole and there was a unanimous vote of approval. <br /> Committee members had requested the balance of the Assessors expense <br /> account. Jim distributed a computer printout showing that the Assessors <br /> have spent about $5,000 out of the $16,000 appropriated for expenses. The <br /> Chairman also distributed department impact statements.. <br /> Jim informed the Committee that a town bylaw states that elected board <br /> officials must be salaried if they are to participate in the town health <br /> insurance and receive the 75% reimbursement. Carole motioned that the Committee <br /> reconsider their previous recommendation to make all elected board officials <br /> non--salaried positions. This motion was seconded by Carl and there was <br /> unanimous agreement to. reconsider. Jim noted that there are thre e <br /> elected officials who are currently enrolled in the insurance, and if they are <br /> on the family plan they pay $1,500 or have it deducted from their salary and <br /> the town pays $4,300. Vern questioned whether this information was correct <br /> stating it was her understanding that the board officials were paying the full <br /> cost of the insurance. John Ferriday motioned that the recommendation on <br /> elected board officials salaries be tabled until more information is available. <br /> This motion was seconded by Carole and there was unanimous agreement to table <br /> this issue. <br /> Jim felt the Committee had been over zealous in their cutting of the <br /> Assessors salary account. He stated that it was his belief that the Committee <br /> would have difficulty defending their position and questioned whether the <br /> department could function. At the meeting of February 12th the Committee had <br /> recommended the elimination of the assistant director, the lister and the <br /> part-time clerk. Jim agreed with the Committee.that the Assessors Department <br /> was over--staffed but he didn't feel they could operate on this recommendation. <br /> The lister position is a new position and will have- to be an article and the <br /> Committee could. address this when the articles are considered. Vern motioned <br /> that the Finance Committee recommend a salary of $86,686 which would include <br /> the director, the assistant and one full-time clerk. This- motion-was seconded- <br /> by John and there was unanimous approval of the motion. <br /> I <br />
