PERSONNEL BOARD
Minutes of Meeting
July 9, 2003
Board members present: Chairman Susan Abladian, Kathy Wilfert and Lynn Watts. Also present: Alan Gordon.
7:10 p.m.: ALAN GORDON – POLICE CHIEF
Mr. Gordon requested a step increase for Domenic Annunziata from P-1, Step 1 ($509.54/wk) to P-1, Step 4 ($591.49/wk). Mr. Gordon said that Mr. Annunziata, who was hired as a dispatcher on June 9, 2003, was amply qualified and had previously been working as a dispatcher for the Grafton police department. He is a recent graduate of the full-time Police Academy in Boylston and is certified as a full-time police officer. Mr. Gordon felt that Mr. Annunziata has a lot more training than required for a dispatcher, which is a benefit to the Town. Mr. Annunziata has been appointed as a reserve police officer.
MOTION: Mrs. Watts moved to increase Domenic Annunziata’s step from P-1 Step 1 to P-1 Step 4 ($591.49/wk). Mrs. Wilfert seconded and was so voted.
The Board discussed an employee’s request for Family Medical Leave. Mrs. Watts would like more information; especially how the services offered in that department will be covered. The Board would also like to know when and how long the employee’s leave would be. Mrs. Abladian said she ascertained that all of the employee’s vacation time and sick time would need to be used first. She felt the Board needed to schedule a work session to discuss further.
Mrs. Watts said that she was concerned with the job description for the new Board of Selectmen Administrative Assistant position not mentioning the requirement to speak or understand English. Mrs. Abladian said the Board could recommend this to the Selectmen’s Office.
