The Select Board on June 10 endorsed a three‑year contract for Police Chief Michael Grace that contains a 3% base‑salary increase and modest adjustments to allowances and life‑insurance provisions. The package also includes a stadium‑related stipend in recognition of additional duties tied to events at Patriot Place; part of that stipend is funded by the stadium operator.
Town Manager Paige said terms were negotiated in executive session and that the contract will be posted on the town website once it is signed. The board voted to support the contract; the town manager will execute the final signature as authorized by the board.
Board members noted that the stipend reflects sustained policing demands related to stadium events and regional activity, and that the increase aligns Chief Grace’s compensation with comparable prior chief contracts.
