The Board of Selectmen discussed a proposed settlement with the
Fire Fighters Association of three outstanding items: an arbitra-
tion regarding minimum manning; an unfair labor practice concern-
ing minimum manning; and arbitration regarding health insurance.
The proposal is that all of these issues would be dismissed with
neither side admitting guilt. There would be a one-time lump sum
payment of $4, 200.00 to the Fire Fighters Association for them to
distribute as . appropriate. After considerable discussion, the
consensus of the Board, with Hoyt not in agreement, was that this
issue should not be settled in this manner at this time.

cases. He was not recommending the settlement of two of them,
but did recommend a settlement of the Kevin Ryan case for a lump
sum not to exceed $15, 000.00. The Board reviewed the case, and
on motion by Hoyt, seconded by Ensminger, agreed to authorize a
settlement of this case for a sum not to exceed $15,000.00 by a
