Personnel Board approves FY26 pay rate for conservation agent Melissa Danza, retroactive to July 1
Summary
The Personnel Board approved the FY26 pay rate for conservation agent Melissa Danza, making the increase retroactive to July 1 after her return from maternity leave delayed the evaluation.
The Personnel Board on Sept. 10 approved the FY 2026 pay rate for Melissa Danza, the town—s conservation agent, and made the rate retroactive to July 1, 2025. The motion passed on a recorded roll call: Dorianne (Aye), Brian (Yes) and John (Yes).
Vanessa told the board that Danza was on maternity leave until early July and returned to full-time work, which delayed the evaluation and review of her FY26 pay rate. "She returned to full time work, and that's why this evaluation was delayed," Vanessa said.
The board's motion specified that the approved pay rate should be retroactive to July 1, 2025; the vote was taken after Vanessa confirmed the retroactivity. The board recorded no amendments and no dissent.
No additional budgetary details or salary amounts were read into the record during the meeting. The action was procedural approval of a personnel evaluation outcome and did not include further discussion of duties or departmental changes.
