Staff asks for three headcounts; commissioners outline budget and capital schedule
Summary
Staff requested three new positions (two laborers and one mechanic); commissioners and staff discussed timing for budget and non‑recurring capital hearings and personnel approvals tied to the town's February cycle.
Staff told the commission it is seeking three additional positions — two laborers and one mechanic — to support maintenance and shop work.
Anthony Calabres said the request reflects current operational needs as the course prepares equipment and shop facilities for the season. He noted turnover in the town finance office and that the new CFO and interim budget staff are moving the budget process forward; commissioners heard that capital planning meetings are normally held in February and that the sequence runs Board of Selectmen → Board of Finance → RTM before funds become available.
Nut Graf: Staffing additions are contingent on the town budget calendar; commissioners asked staff to present costed headcount proposals in time for the February non‑recurring capital and budget review process.
Ending: Staff will finalize the positions and cost estimates for presentation in advance of the town's budget hearings; commissioners requested timing and a staffing justification document.
