On motion by Nigro seconded by Hoyt the minutes of January 19, 1994 were approved by a vote of 5-0-0. The Town Manager reported on the need for an extension to February 11, 1994 by Bear Hill Associates in order to secure the title exam that is needed. The Board indicated that that was fine. The Town Manager discussed the Firefighters negotiations, and shared with them some information generated by the Fire Chief. The Town Manager indicated that the mediator felt that a third year of the contract at somewhere around 4% might be adequate to secure the deal. The Board did not feel that it was able to go forward with a third year of the contract at this point since we have not done budget and financial projections to cover that time period. The Town Manager indicated that the next steps may be to go to fact finding, and thought that the Town should voluntarily agree to fact finding. That process will take awhile, and mean- time, a little bit later this spring we may have been able to proceed with our budget planning to the point where we could in fact offer a third year of the contract before fact finding was actually begun. On motion by Burditt seconded by Nigro the Board voted to adjourn the Executive Session at 11:58 p.m. All five members present voted in the affirmative and the motion was adjourned.
