  • Hiring of Lifeguards/Swim Aids
Town Administrator Wrigley informed the Board that we do not have the contracts yet but we have a list showing the names of the lifeguards and swim aids as well as their step and grade.  Wrigley added that two of the lifeguard’s certification expires at the end of June but they are looking for a class and we can use them at least until the end of June.  The effective date of hire for the lifeguards and swim aids listed is June 12, 2012.  Orientation is scheduled for this Saturday at the Town Beach starting at 10am.

Chairman McCarthy motioned to hire the Lifeguards and Swim Aides as listed on the report labeled “Recreation Swim Program 2012” which includes the Grade/Step with an effective date of June 12, 2012.  Second by Melvin.  Motion passed with a unanimous vote.

The town does not have a background check for one of the lifeguards and Town Administrator Wrigley asked the Board to make a decision on whether she can work before we receive the paperwork.  The Board agreed to allow the employee to attend orientation this Saturday and since she is a returning employee with a background check from last year on file, the Board approved for her to work as long as she has someone with her.
