Summary

The Blandford Select Board voted July 22 to approve a series of edits to the town personnel policy affecting Highway and Water Department employees and directed staff to send the revised draft to Town Counsel for legal review.

The Blandford Select Board voted July 22 to approve a set of edits to the townwide personnel policy and directed staff to submit the revised draft to Town Counsel for legal review.

J. Coury presented a comparison document outlining key differences between the current townwide personnel policy and provisions that had been included in a now-defunct union contract, identifying items specifically affecting Highway and Water Department employees. The board approved a series of edits based on that comparison.

Cara Letendre made the motion to submit the updated policy to Town Counsel for review; T. Cousineau seconded the motion. The minutes record the vote as 'All in Favor.' The minutes do not list individual roll-call votes.

Town Administrator C. Ferrera will provide an editable version of the existing policy to J. Coury, who will be responsible for incorporating the approved updates. Once the draft revisions are complete, the undated document will be forwarded to Town Counsel for legal review and the acceptance of the updated policies will be added to a future Select Board agenda.

The minutes record the motion language twice in the file; the second instance repeats the action but does not indicate a separate re-vote. No public comment on the personnel policy was recorded.
