There was discussion on how to proceed regarding the manual. It was agreed that the board would continue to test the manual by reevaluating various positions. There was discussion regarding the purpose of testing the manual. Mr. Lewenberg stated that it must be made clear to employees that it is not the HRBC’s intention to re-grade positions as a result of testing the manual. Ms. Greene agreed and stated the process was an exercise and not for use in re-grading. Mr. LoRusso stated that the process was to ascertain whether the new manual works as the old one did not. Mr. LoRusso proposed taking one entire future meeting to test three positions with the new manual. Mr. Hodgkinson suggested taking one each of Grade 6, 8 & 10 positions. Mr. Carroll suggested testing a “laborer” position. Ms. Greene suggested a beach
position as well.
