RMLD Board of Commissioners
Date March 30, 2004
Time: 9:18 p.m.
Place: Audio Visual/Spurr Room
Attendees: Messrs. Cameron, Fournier, Kazanjian, Ensminger, Soli, Hughes
Meeting started at 9:18 p.m.
Mr. Cameron explained that since his proposed reorganization last year, the RMLD has experienced some
economies of scale. One being the Accounting Department. All functions of the RMLD's accounting is being
performed within the Accounting Department. This is in addition to Mr. Fournier being the Business Manager.
Mr. Cameron stated that his intention is to abide by the recently passed Article 7 but hiring someone outside, as the
Accounting Services Manager will create a duplication of effort within the Accounting Department.
Mr. Fournier stated that to fill out job responsibilities for the new position, he had to take duties away from existing
staff in order to give this individual something to do. Mr. Fournier also stated that, at the present time and in the
foreseeable future, the RMLD does not need to increase its overhead by adding a new hire.
Mr. Cameron stated that this structure resembles the Town and that the Board will be doing the hiring and firing of
this position. He also said that this person would need to be involved in the "nuts and bolts" of the business.
Mr. Ensminger said he would like to talk to Mr. Kazanjian to see if he would be an acceptable candidate. When
asked by Mr. Kazanjian if he was interested in the position, the reply was no.
Mr. Hughes asked if an existing individual could wear two hats, their current job and the accounting manager job.
The Subcommittee seemed to think that was acceptable.
Mr. Fournier asked the Board what duties they would like this person to have. Mr. Fournier also stated that this
person should not be made the scapegoat in the event something was questioned since Chapter 164 gives full
authority to the General Manager of the utility.
Mr. Cameron suggested that any questions brought up by this individual should be made to the subcommittee first,
and, if appropriate, to the full Board.
Mr. Ensminger asked the RMLD to put together a job description for their review.
Mr. Ensminger motioned to adjourn the meeting at 9:45 P.M. Soli seconded.
