01-4419.10-100 thru 301 passed
Bonnie asked to address the committee about a correction that the select board had made for the Fire Dept. budget. She explained that when the different dept had presented their budgets that the board had not decided what % increase they were going to propose for the wage increases. When the fire dept, had been refigured it changed a lot of this that Jeff had requested, so the select board had voted on Monday night to accept the following and were asking to have the amounts changed on the budget. They were as follows:
01-4220.10-100 FD Chief Salary - $4,000.00
01-4220.10-102 Full Time Firefighter - $40,000.00
01-4220.10-103 Firefighters Salary - $22,000.00
01-4220.10-200 EMT Salaries - $15,000.00
01-4220.10-201 Overtime - $18,000.00
Tom asked why the large increase in the over time, and change in full time fire fighter. Bonnie explained that the select board had voted to change the amount of hours that Jeff had to work before receiving over time. In the past he had to work about 52 hours before over time would start, and the board felt that that was not right , as Jeff was not on Salary, and should there for be treated like all employees, so that would be the reason for the increase. Several other questions from Carmine and Tom were made but Bonnie said that she did not know all the answers and they should wait to ask Jeff, he could clear this all up for them.
Lori asked what else we needed to go over and if Maryclare had a chance to get the answers to the questions last week. Bonnie said Maryclare had and proceeded to go over them. She said she had been speaking to Karen Moran, about the Water Operating Expense, and she had said that the figures that she had given Lori were from the old bond and she knew we had refinance it, so we needed to check on that. Maryclare checked and the way that the new bond was done, kept everything the same so our figures on 04-4711.10-200 and 04-4721.10-200 were both fine.
We had also questioned the Employee Insurance for the $162,200.00 and Maryclare said this amount was correct and the Unemployment Comp. 01-4155.10-301 was $400.00, but she had not received the bill yet. And lastly we had asked her to see about the town insurance 01-4195.10-520, and she said the $29,526.00 amount was correct also.
Tom motioned to adjourn and Ken seconded, passed at 7:55 PM
Ken will be excuse from the Nov. 12th meeting.
