“I’m leaving it up to Town Meeting to decide,” McNabb said.Ĭonversation on the third article was postponed until next week’s meeting, one day before Town Meeting, at McNabb’s request. Smart voted against the appropriation request. “Typos happen,” Sheehan said, “I’ll correct them.”

The report is full of typing mistakes, Smart said. “In terms of the pecking order, the hierarchy, the positions determine what the hierarchy is in the department,” Sheehan said. “I’m not going to get into it,” said Chairwoman Sue Lisio. “We need a hierarchy and who’s responsible,” she said. The department head and the assistant both have the same job responsibilities but are on different grades, Smart said, “There are no clear distinctions.” Human Resources Services, Inc., raised the grade for the combined position to T-9, but the collector and treasurer were each at T-8, she said, “I don’t support bringing it up a whole grade.”īecause one person now had all the responsibilities, the consultant raised the grade, Sheehan said. Town departments are moving to using a lockbox system for collections, cutting down on personnel time, he said. Then, we just eliminate the position,” he said. “It may be that in a year or thereabouts we don’t need that 18-hour slot. The collections clerk will be a temporary position, Sheehan said. Part of the assistant’s wages will be offset by the appropriation for the payroll clerk. The proposed changes combine the positions of treasurer and collector and add a part-time assistant and a part-time collections clerk. This appropriation for proposed personnel changes in the treasurer/collector office generated more discussion. It’s nothing against the person.”Īnother article, to raise and appropriate $22,837 for wages for the remainder of the fiscal year, passed by the same 2-1 vote. The town did not have the money in the budget when it agreed to the amount in July, she said.
