Committee keeps police chief salary line as presented, approves police budget 4–1
Summary
The committee voted 4–1 to keep the police chief salary at the presented line amount and approved the police department budget at $705,944 after discussion about prior midyear adjustments and salary-range intent.
The Rangeley Budget Committee considered the police department budget and the salary line for the police chief. One committee member said the salary range previously established for the chief was intended as a flexible target rather than a base for future automatic increases; other members noted the chief's position had seen an increase during the current year and the chief finished probationary review recently.
After discussion, the committee voted to leave the salary line (0101) for the police chief at $100,007 (the figure moved and seconded at the meeting). The committee also finalized operating adjustments and approved the police departmental budget at $705,944. The vote on the police budget carried 4–1.
Committee members asked staff to confirm effective dates of midyear increases and to ensure consistency between budgeted ranges and the selectmen's chosen salary practice.
