Cemetery & Parks Meeting
December 27, 2018
Kimball House
The meeting was opened at 12:02PM
Present were, Ray Boyes, John Barrett, Roger Rapoza, Pam Haman, Drew Funk joined meeting later.
Discuss: Budget for upcoming fiscal year.
Roger has suggested that with the union negotiations for the Supervisors Contract up coming, his position be reclassified to salary and include a stipend for 24/7 coverage. Roger is often called on weekends by funeral directors, and event holders using the common. Often times he is not compensated for the time spent on these calls.
The Commissioners felt that with Roger’s increasing responsibilities of coordinating funerals for cremations when a funeral home is not involved, OSHA regulations and supervising staff it makes sense that his position is change to a salary employee.
Roger would like to increase Drew’s hours for the “mowing season”. With expansion of Riverside there is an increase need for additional grounds keeping and equipment up keep.
The expense budget was increased to reflect the fuel that is used when the departments does winter operations. The vehicle repair was also increased.
John move to approve the department budget as discussed and submit to Town Hall. Ray second all were in favor.
Job descriptions were reviewed, changes updates/made were in bold. Roger explained that his job is not a 9-5 job and that since the Highway Department no longer does any vehicle repairs on department vehicles Drew has taken on more of the repairs
John move to approve the job descriptions with the changes reflected in the foreman’s. Ray second all were in favor.
Next meeting is scheduled for 1/14/19 at 7PM.
Meeting adjourned 12:51PM.
