RMLD Board of Commissioners
Date: April 14, 2005 "
Time: 8:30 a.m.
Place: General Manager's Conference Room _R
Attendees: Bob Soli, Vin Cameron, Beth Antonio
Mr. Cameron opened the discussion by reviewing Policy #19 and the suggested chges. 'He
stated that in 2002 we tried to appease the Town so that they would not pass oversight laws,
which they did anyway. He thinks that we should do away with the section that calls for
advertising. It's too expensive to advertise in four town papers and makes it difficult to change
the policy as opposed to other policies.
On the second page he suggests taking out the word "Fiscal" and replacing it with the General
Manager's Contract year.
On C3 the suggested language echoes the town charter and keeps it short.
On C4 - Same reasons and we don't want to lock the Board into a particular process, which could
hinder the Board's actions.
C 7 The sentence isn't necessary. The word presence is not necessary.
C10E Board has to approve settlements. They don't have to approve the start of litigation.
The subcommittees need to be updated and we need to add the Policy Subcommittee.
Mr. Soli - If we don't change page 1C, I believe there is no need to advertise because the other
changes are housekeeping. I think it is too early to strike 1C.
Mr. Cameron agreed.
Policy #13
Ms. Antonio stated that she added 2B Ineligible Groups as had been requested by Mr. Soli at a
prior meeting. Under 4A we cleaned up some of the language to make it read better.
Policy #21
Mr. Cameron stated that we updated the policy to reflect the non-union management employees.
Under 2A the salary ranges are now part of the Professional union contract. In Section #5 Section
A we have cleaned up the job titles. 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. Section #8 and #9 were housekeeping,
Changes will be made and we will schedule a subcommittee meeting before the next board
meeting in order to review the changes.
Meeting adjourned at 9:30 a.m.
