Board approves hiring Madison Prater as accounting administrative assistant
Summary
The Swansea board voted to hire Madison Prater as a nonexempt accounting administrative assistant at a starting wage of $25.50 per hour plus benefits after the personnel committee forwarded the recommendation; the motion passed by roll call.
The Swansea board on a roll-call vote approved hiring Madison Prater as an accounting administrative assistant, authorizing an offer at a starting wage of $25.50 per hour plus fringe benefits.
At the personnel committee meeting, a staff member opened the item at about 5:15 p.m., saying the town sought to hire and fill an open accounting administrative assistant position and intended to make an offer to Madison Prater. Christina, a staff interviewer, told the committee that she and a colleague had interviewed six candidates and that Prater — an employee referral — ‘‘had all of the experience that we were looking for,’’ was ‘‘very trainable’’ and ‘‘hands down our best choice.’’
Committee members moved to forward the hiring recommendation to the full board, which convened shortly afterward. During the board meeting, the presiding official confirmed the motion to hire and asked for a roll-call vote. Trustees cast votes in favor: Trustee Jablonski (yes), Trustee Lanter (aye), Trustee Poche (aye), Trustee Maguire (aye), and the Mayor (aye). The motion carried.
The position was described in the meeting as nonexempt and hourly. No additional details about Madison Prater’s start date, department assignment, or benefits package beyond ‘‘fringe benefits’’ were provided in the meeting record.
Following the vote, trustees reported no other items for committee reports. The special meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn passed by voice vote.
