Assistants would be changed to Staff Accountants. These are basically title changes. The current Fiscal Assistant positions are union positions and when changed to Staff Accountants would then become non-union positions.
In discussing this reorganization, Mayor Aman noted that the Finance Department is one of the few departments for which the flow of people is determined by the Town Council. If this was being done in the Planning Department or the Public Works Department, it would not be coming forward to a Public Hearing as this is.
There being no members of the audience who wished to speak, Mayor Aman called for a Straw Vote, the results of which were as follows:
Those in favor or the Amendment – 1
Those opposed to the Amendment – 0
The Public Hearing closed at 7:55 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Merlyn P. Guild
Assistant to the Clerk of the Council
