The meeting was called to order by Ms. Greene at 8:11 AM.
Minutes from May 6, 2010 were presented and approved as amended by the board.
The Board passed on the Minutes from July 1, 2010.
The Board was going to discuss the Evaluation process, but passed on that topic with the absence of Mr. McCreery. Mr Bellinger, the new Tri-Town Chief was present to discuss the job descriptions for his department.
The pressing issue was the job description of the Ambulance Deputy Chief/ Training Officer as this position is a 40 hour a week job that will overlap the Chief in several areas. There was a question as to whether or not this was a salaried position and how many people are under the supervision of the AAS/TO. The Board agreed to have Mr. Collins, board counsel, review this role of AAS/TO and give his opinion. Mr. Lewenberg commended Mr. Bellinger for his vision and work as he takes Tri-town Ambulance in a new direction. Mr. Bellinger thanked the board for all their time and consideration. Mr. LoRusso asked Mr. Bellinger if the EMT’s that are on duty could have specific duties while awaiting calls so they are not just sitting outside the Chilmark Fire Station reading or on laptops? Mr. Bellinger replied that new rules would require EMT’s on duty to perform many tasks related to the ambulance service during the day and should eliminate this practice.
The Board proceeded to review the grade of Coordinator of Administrative Support. Currently that job is at grade 8, step 8 and the board would like to see his grade increased to Grade 11, Step 1. The Motion to re-grade Administrative Support was made and seconded. The motion was unanimously approved by all members of the Board.
The was some discussion concerning the Beach Supervisor and the $11k deficit the Beach Committee had as related to the beach clean-up and preparation for this summer. The Beach Department should have known they were going to have this overage and did not prepare well.
The last item discussed concerned an employees status as one who works two jobs for the town in separate locations over 40 hours a week. Should they be able to do so and collect overtime as a result of these hours if they work over 40? The Board agreed to speak with Mr. Collins for his opinion on this matter. Mr. Carroll asked to be included in the email loop with the Board’s questions to Mr. Collins.
With no more business to attend to, the Board adjourned at 9:25 am
