As a next step Martina will be invited to a PB meeting to provide further input. The PB will then draft a new job description for BOS approval.

Clarify with legal counsel the exempt/nonexempt classification for the Assistant Assessor’s position. 3. Reorganize the policy and attach a separate list of all town jobs by classification and compensation type. 4. The Summer/Special Police Officer position will be classified as seasonal, nonexempt.
Overtime and Compensatory Time: The draft policy was discussed. The format will be revised and changes made to reflect: 1. Specific limits for accumulated comp. time. 2. Any accumulated comp. time that is over the limit will be paid in cash.
