Mr. Cameron opened the discussion by reviewing Policy #13 and the suggested changes.
Ms. Antonio mentioned that per Mr. Soli's request we added the line on Ineligible Groups, those with
political backgrounds from using the room. She also explained that language was cleaned up to
designate areas that are allowed to be used.
Mr. Soli made a motion to accept the changes to Policy #13 and to present to the RMLB for approval. Mr.
Herlihy seconded the motion. Vote 2-0.
Policy #19 was discussed next. Changes were reviewed by Mr. Soli. Discussion on removing the
sentence on Town Auditor selection was agreed to since the RMLB is not involved in that.
On the second page taking out the word "Fiscal" and replacing it with the General Manager's Contract
year.
In C3 Mr. Soli explained that the suggested language is taken from the town charter
In C4 - Mr. Soli explained that the language is the same as in the town charter.
- In C10E Mr. Cameron explained that the language was clarified because the Board has to approve
settlements. They don't have to approve the start of litigation.
The subcommittees' changes were updated and for some reason the Policy Subcommittee was not listed
in the policy even though the committee has been in existence for a while.
Mr. Soli stated that he believes that there is no real substance here. The changes we are discussing fall in
line with the housekeeping changes allowed and there is no need to advertise as stated in 1C.
Mr. Herlihy agreed. He also asked if we should delete a portion of section 1C, which discusses
advertising in the papers. It was suggested that this be reviewed next year for removal.
Mr. Herlihy made a motion to accept the changes to Policy #19 revision 10 and that it be submitted to the
RMLB for approval. Mr. Soli seconded. Vote 2-0.
The last policy to be reviewed was Policy #21
Ms. Antonio stated that per Mr. Herlihy's request last year that we update the policy to reflect the non-
union management employees. In all the sections we have cleaned up the job titles that don't exist
anymore and added the positions that fall into the policy.
Mr. Soli stated that in Section B we made the numbers the same as the contract for maintenance ease. In
Section B we streamlined the language in regards to the GM calling the non-union management
employees into work. Section #6 keeps all of management at the same amount of longevity pay. Section
#8 and #9 were housekeeping.
Mr. Soli made a motion to accept the changes to Policy #21 and that it be submitted to the RMLB for
approval. The motion was seconded by Mr. Herlihy. Vote 2-0
Meeting adjourned at 7:05 p.m.
